A New Look he school looked more like a construction zone than an institution of learning. We were separated from the disaster area of dirt路 and bulldozers by chain-link fences.

Holes in the walls and floors, trucks with huge iron railings, and large piles of dirt became everyday scenery. Inconveniences melded into our daily schedules. We learned to enter the building through alternate ways, exit from the gym to the great

we learned our new locker combinations and resumed old study habits, the year picked up speed.

We moved on to the final steps of our high school careers with giant leaps and bounds.

Our attention was drawn towards the hectic schedules of high school life and to the learning experiences at band. Soon, the construction was no longer an inco n ven ien ce but just our way of life路.

Changing but staying the same Although it seemed like we were endlessly stuck in the classrooms going nowhere, our lives still constantly changed.

The construction of our goals, attitudes and ideas wasn't just a new idea or passing fad but simply an outgrowth of our basic foundations. As a result of the everpresent modifications in our lives and ideals, our perspective of our friends, family and work changed. In the process of our gradual metamorphosis into adults, we built priceless, eternal memories-memories of falling down and getting up again, of laughing, of crying, but most of all memories of our lives being UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

illing out an application that listed such personal information as hobbies and interests, answering personal and current event questions to demonstrate their intelligence and preforming a talent audition were all steps in the process to determine t he finalists who would participate in the Centre County's Junior Miss Pageant in October. After scanning each applicants scores the finalists were announced in May. State College finalists were Tracy Hayes, Debbie Lima, Suzanne Tershak, Olivia Bord, Kirsten Kowalski , Brenda Keirn, Sally Kim, Damienne Fenlon and Melissa Forkner. On October 1, 1988, after many late night rehearsals, the finalists were prepared to compete against one another. They were judged on a five minute interview, talent performance, scholastic achievement, athletic fitness, and poise and appearance. During the awards ceremony, awards were given in each of the six judged areas among which the scholastic achievement award went to Debbie Lima. The big moment was about to occur; the four runner-ups were to be announced. Among them , three were from State College: Olivia Bord(4th), Sally Kim(2nd), and Damienne Fenlon(lst). To top the night off, Suzanne Tershak, of State College, was crowned this year's Junior Miss. It was an experiance of learning and growing among friends and themselves; an experience that they would never forget.

From mountain-biking to shopping, students enjoyed a wide range of activities. According to Garret Porterfield, "Summer is great because you get to do whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about math homework." Many students used their summer freedom to travel. Byron Parizek spent two weeks in the Soviet Union. "I learned that the Russians are actually nice people just like us." To others, summer was an opportunity to earn money. Jim Hollis, who worked for a construction company, commented that his "was definitely a constructive summer." No matter what the activity the students pursued, the change of pace from the rigors of school was a welcome change for everyone.

The parade continued on past rainsoaked specta tors down College Avenue, and up to Memorial Field. There was something about homecoming that attracted more students than the average game, perhaps students wanted to see the outcome of the royal nominations. During Spirit Week, the student body nominated fellow students for Homecoming King and Queen. R ich Bundy, Tate Baumrucker, Bob Oakes, Curt Cronemiller and Sean Albright were the nominees for the Homecoming King. Choices for Homecoming Queen were: Debbie Lupp, J ulie Yoder, Elise Auguston, J ulie Mulhatten and Susie Houck. As the marching band began a rendition of "Over the Rainbow," nominees were introduced. This year's Homecoming King and Queen were Tate Baumrucker and Debbie Lupp. The band finished their halftime show as congratulations overwhelmed the new king and queen. After halftime the crowd cheered our team to a great victory over Dubois. After the game, the Homecoming Dance, sponored by the Alumni Committee, was held at the Fairmount Elementary School. T he night had been filled with excitment and memories that would remain with the students for many years to come.

n the End, After a Bitter Gridiron Fight, The Veterans Come Out on Top The temperature was low, but spirits ran high as the junior vs. senior powderpuff game got under way. Although the temperature was only in the forties, dedicated fans came pouring into Memorial Stadium, grabbed a hot chocolate and waited for the excitement to begin. The juniors set the game off to a rousing start with a quick first quarter touchdown. The seniors fought back, though, to tie the score at 7-7 with a ninety yard run by Heather Rockey. Then, vowing "A blast for our last," the seniors scored two more touchdowns to win 21-7. Adding to the evening's enjoyment was the male cheerleading competition during halftime. Performing first, the juniors put on a creative show as they danced the hula in their bath towel skirts to the Beach Boy's "Kokomo." Then, the seniors shook their way to first place with AC/DC's, "You shook me all night long." It was a fun night for everyone, and the senior powderpuff players and coaches were especially enthusiastic. Senior powderpuff manager, Cathy Heuser, exclaimed, "It's about time we won!" After the explosive celebration on the field, the night ended with a victory party for the senior winners.

f

he More Money I Make Working on My Job, the More I End Up Spending!

From cashiering at McLanahan's to chauffeuring at the Atherton-Hilton, State High students found as many different ways to earn money as they did to spend it.

Lesley Duffus worked at McLanahan's on College Avenue for three years. She usually worked from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. after school. She liked not having to wear a uniform or wait on tables but said, "It's a bummer when I have to work on weekends."

Ben Hadary was the limousine chauffeur for the Atherton-Hilton hotel. "No accidents yet," he commented, crossing his fingers. Hadary used most of the money he earned to pay for car insurance.

As a produce worker at Weis Markets, Tate Baumrucker knew his mellons and bananas. "It's basically an easy job except for taking inventory. You have to count every vegetable!"

Kristi Isola worked at TCBY. "It's a great job because my friends stop in all the time. I guess it's sort of a hangout." Kristi was saving up money for a trip to Yel!owstone.

According to Tim Grebos, busing tables at the Deli is "not just an after-school job, it's an adventure." And he added that there were many fringe benefits, such as attractive female waitresses. In all, students found their jobs a valuable work experience. As they worked hard for their money, they found that even the most mundane jobs provided some of the most memorable times.

Reaching twelfth grade was always a goal-a reward for all those Intermediate High School terrors. School would supposedly get easier; the social life would drastically improve; and parents would suddenly loosen up. When this magical year finally arrived, many of these dreams actually came true, but it came at the cost of many new responsibilities. College applications, apartment living, car payments, and a myriad of other tasks 路dominated senior life. But amidst these responsibilites came the pleasure of being able to look back at four years of accomplishment and to look ahead to a bright future.

Many students looked forward to attending prestigious colleges. Others decided to enter the work force right away. And still others had a desire to spend time overseas to recoup from four years of high school stress. In all, it was a year to learn about independence and more importantly, about one's self.

hose Blessed Holiday Breaks Never Seem to Last Long Enough for Anyone No matter what the occasion, students always looked to the holidays with anxious eyes. Holidays gave an excuse to kick back and relax. Whether it was Christmas, Easter, Hannukah, Thanksgiving, or simply an in-service day for the teachers, students were glad to get a break. For the major holidays, such as Christmas and H annukah, many students went to great lengths to get into the seasons' spirit. Some decorated their lockers to match the festivities while others held holiday parties. Whatever the case, the atmosphere before the holidays was one of joy because vacations lingered around the corner.

Over the holidays, many students went to visit relatives and others simply left for fun . Destinations ranged from New York to Colorado. While one student may have been watching a Broadway show, another may have been tackling the slopes.

Mean)짜hile, for the other students who remained in Happy Valley, there was a multitude of activities. Besides sharing good times with family and friends, students found time to catch up on projects long abandoned due to busy scl:tedules.

Many students decided to end months of procrastination by starting a term paper and other miscellaneous long-term projects that had been assigned months before.

However, for many, holidays were a time to recuperate, to take a much needed break from the demands of schoolwork. Whatever the case, the holiday breaks often became the most relaxing and memorable times of the year.

Holidays

hen All Else Fails, I Look to My Pet for Comfort, Love and Friendship Dog is man's best friend ...or a goat...or a lizard as the case may be. For some State High students, household pets were anything but the common canine. Senior Doug Gimler kept a goat in his backyard. "It loves to play soccer and she's pretty good, too!" Opting for the more exotic, Dave Evans bought a tropical lizard.

Tenderly named "Y'ngolonac," Dave kept the lizard in an aquarium and fed it live crickets.

Some pets were often thought to resemble their owners, but junior Karen Pagani never wanted this popular belief to come true in her case. Karen owned a tarantula named "Ugly." Although he was proudly displayed on their kitchen table for guests, Karen admitted that she rarely ever touched him. "Once in a while I pet it, but it sort of makes me nervous."

Conversely, senior Renee Doberneck felt very close to her pet. Her white rat, named Ramone, could even be found nuzzling on her shoulder in Renee's senior picture. "He's very friendly and cleaner than you'd expect."

Then, of course, there were the many dog owners who felt as if their pets were just another brother or sister in the family. But, no matter how bizzare, pets were something special. Andy Wood sums it up when he talked about his chinchilla, "I can say anything to Squeaky, and I know he still loves me."

ven Though It's Not a Bustling Metropolis, Our Town Is As Lively As It Is Beautiful The State College community could only have been described in one wordunique. Centered around the Penn State University, Happy Valley offered numerous cultural activities such as concerts given by musicians, comedians, and visiting orchestras; various theatrical productions; and exciting athletic events including the notorious Saturday football games that attracted national attention.

Each summer our town hosted the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.

Students, family members and out-of-towners infiltrated the narrow streets of State College for this very special event. This annual congregation of painters, sculptors, jewelers, wood craftsmen, weavers, and other artists dazzled audiences with their brilliant displays and performances.

Also known for its scenic attractions like Stone Valley, Mount Nittany, Bear Meadows, and Colyer Lake, State College was blessed with beautiful landscape, diverse architecture, and numerous cultural attractions. It also boasted a bustling downtown, engineered toward the needs and desires of university studentsstudents very similar to those individuals from the high school.

arties, Relaxation and Fun: State High Students Live for the Weekends Sleep, sports, and cultural events were always the main attractions for a typical weekend in State College. Every student has his or her own ritual that commenced on Friday at 3:12 p.m. Late hours and an overloaded schedule during the week led to many pleasant dreams and total relaxation. Others who were more socially inclined joined friends for an exciting night downtown State College.

Between movies, concerts and eating pizza, nothing prevented students from having a good time. Those who were more athletically oriented were able to find an enjoyable activity, either participating in a specific sport or watching an event on the Penn State University campus. Others found an escape to the numerous concerts given on campus. Still others enjoyed visiting friends and spending an evening watching movies. Whatever the activity had been, weekends proved to be a most valuable escape from a hectic high school schedule, and students certainly took advantage of every opportunity to get away from it all.

Yummy. Riding piggy-back, Shelbi Miles grabs a can of chocolate pudding and a plastic spoon and tries, unsuccessfully, to feed Joey Delauter.

Night Where Class Camaraderie and Ghoulish Games Take the Center Stage Where could you find shoe scrambles, pudding relays and teacher-student tugof-wars all under one roof? Where else but at the Almost Anything Goes competition held at the State College Senior High School, December 5, 1988.

This zany event, sponsored by the cheerleaders, pitted the juniors, seniors and faculty members against each other in a myriad of exotic contests. The night started with the infamous "human chain" contest in which the juniors and seniors lined up to pass a ball of string through the shorts and shirts of every team member. Then after that, students hopped on each other's backs and tried to forcefeed pudding to each other, a messy task, indeed. The faculty entertained themselves by entering the tug-of-war competition. Both senior and junior teams took little time, but much pleasure, in pulling their school instructors into the "mud."

There were several surprise events, one of which involved the girls dressing in men's garments and vice versa. The girls tried to tie men's ties, while the guys tried to put on pantyhose. It was a surprise for everyone to see Mr. Pifer and Mr. Rodrick in drag! Besides all the fun, students took increased enjoyment in the fact that all the proceeds of the competition went to a local charity.

After all the pudding was eaten, all the strings were untangled and all the points were tabulated, the seniors came out winners. Almost Anything Goes was certainly one of the most exciting and most successful events of the calendar year. All involved were sure that they would remember it as one of the more memorable moments at State High.

haking All Night Long, If anyone was limping after March 17th and 18th, the 14th annual State High Dance Marathon might have been the reason. This year, the marathon benefitted the Elk's Club Cerebral Palsy Home Service Unit. The dancers, who experienced 28 hours of fun, various physical injuries and sheer torture, raised over $17 ,000 while boppin' , rockin', and hobblin'.

Much behind-the-scenes work was needed to organize the marathon, and, once started, keep it going. The staff and morale committee members planned the activities, contacted sponsors, transformed the gymnasium into a dance floor, and kept the dancers moving.

A fairly constant stream of activities kept the dancers' minds and feet occupied.

About 8 p.m. the band Toy Memory played some hits, including the ever-popular Sesame Street theme song. Have you ever seen hundreds of teenagers skipping across a gym floor singing "Sunny days ... sweepin' the clouds away"? The St. Patrick's Day party led to an outgrowth of green shamrocks, leprechauns, and a general touch o' the Irish.

As the hours ticked down to midnight, party hats and noise makers began to appear. Yes, it was New Year's Eve, complete with fake champagne. In the wee hours of the morning, a strange combination of creatures began to dance. Amazingly, neither the 50's sock-hoppers dressed in poodle skirts and scarves nor 60's hippies in tye-dyed everything and peace signs spoke of a culture clash.

At 4 a.m. in the morning, 97 WQWK took a break from spinning the tunes and turned the show over to the dancer's varied talents. Do you know why little kids always yell "Moo" at cows? Tim Grebos wanted to know. Not only was Open Mic fun, but the dancers also got a much-needed chance to sit down.

Then came the dreaded 6 a.m. morning rÂľn. Several dancers could be heard mumbling, "There's no way I'm doing this.'' However, when encouraged by morale, they limped outside and around the parking lot in the cool, gray early morning light. The fresh air did wonders to revive the spirits of the tired dancers.

Even so, the dancers truly wished they were in warm, comfortable beds, so they brought out their pajamas, bunny slippers, and stuffed animals.

People offered encouragement, saying that the worst was over, that pretty soon tired bodies would resign themselves to the fact that no sleep was coming for another dozen hours. Saturday's activities included a limbo contest, a Mardi Gras celebration with pinatas to break, the band Plaid Billy a walkman sing-along, the best chest/best legs contest (be still our beating hearts), the high school band Glorious Disciples of Freedom, the Harley party, with lots of leather and studs, air bands, and finally, the Super Heroes party.

By the time 10 p.m. Saturday night arrived, the participants danced to the theme song "You Shook Me All Night Long" for the last time. Most of the surviving dancers felt like real super heroes, happy to have made it all 28 hours, and also happy to have helped a good cause.

Friends like these always make for good times.

ooking Back Upon Some of the Most Memorable Years of Our Lives Graduation marked an end of an era for the seniors, but not an end to the memories that would always stand out in our minds. From our first days in school as freshmen to our final moments together as high school graduates, the memories were continuously in the making. For some students, the "wild" Friday nights at Playland are forever implanted in their minds. Others recalled the horrors of Dr. Lechnar's AP history exams. Many reminisced about our green school lawn before it became an asphalt parking lot. And everyone remembered (rather vividly) our school lunches.

For many seniors - the college applications process stood out like a black scar on an otherwise pleasant world of high school memories. Some students applied to more than five schools, which meant they were faced with ten or twelve grilling college essays to write. Robin Fetters, however, found the process less stressful than most. "I applied to Penn State--there was NO ESSAY!" Other students remember the grueling trial of. getting up Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. to take the three hour SAT examination. "It's a terrible way to spend your weekend," exclaimed Julia Kish after plodding through the test. Most seniors agreed.

The junior and senior proms, unlike the SAT's, evoked many pleasant memories.

"The prom was great, but in a way it was sad because it was the last time we were all together besides graduation," said senior Mike Bailey. The prom usually sparked memories of the exhaustive dance marathon which often led to recollections of the Homecoming dance and the victorious Homecoming game.

Even the numerous foreign students came away with impressions and memories of life in America. What struck Karin Winter, a German exchange student, as very unusual and somewhat surprising, was the fact that, "Everyone had a car."

For everyone, though, State High offered a lifetime supply of pleasant thoughts and memories to be cherished forever.

Books and Brains No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't honestly say that we hated every moment of it. No matter how hard we groaned, learning actually was interesting, challenging and almost fun .. But that was our secret. On the outside we complained that there was too much homework, too many tests, and too little time. We whined about the pressure and stress, but in reality we were glad to have the guidance, push, and incentive to be the best we could possibly be. Our education was our foundation for the rest of our lives. Throughout high school, we constantly grew and learned, as our minds and knowledge were continually UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

Puttin8 It Off. . . Until Tomorrow!

Whether it was writing college applications, studying for a Dr. Lechnar test, returning a library book, or taking out the trash, procrastinators always found excuses to do things ...a little later. Procrastinators were easy to spot in school. While rushing into school seconds before the bell rings, they grabbed late homework assignments from overflowing Jockers and scribbled due dates on the back of their hands. Upon arriving late for class, they gave the teacher mounds of excuses. And then, while in class, they put off doing any work, saying: "I don't feel good right now."

"I'm too tired."

"I promise I'll bring it in on Monday."

Unfortunately for most, time either went by too quickly, or class went by too slowly. The result was a rush to get things done. As Roxanne Sokol stated, "I procrastinated because I didn't have enough motivation to do what I had to do. I thought it would eventijally go away, but it didn't." The situation was familiar to everyone- pulling an all-nighter to study for that BIG test, writing a five page essay the period before, or copying homework from a trusted friend while the teacher lectured.

Somehow though, the complications worked out.

The procrastinator then breathed a sigh of relief as essays were written, tests were aced, and homework was completed, despite occasional missed deadlines.

And even though every student was always pressed for time, he or she continued to put things off.

Guidin8 Lives Through Print and Advice Two learning assistance centers, the counseling office and the library, aided students tremendously when they needed help with college applications, schedule changes, or book reports and research papers.

Students flocked to the counseling office throughout the year in order to change schedules, process college applications and send transcripts. Personal problems, involving family and friends or other difficulties such as attendance also demanded time from the counselors. The dedicated counselors were backed by years of experience plus the desire to guide others through hard times. After returning from a sabbatical, counselor Ronald Faris commented, "I enjoy being back and working with the kids; they are the best part of school."

By arranging eleventh grade orientations to providing subject materials for teachers, the library assisted various individuals. Tools such as LIAS, microfiche and the ever-popular card catalog helped students immensely in their search for books and research materials. The library also served as the prime location for students to do homework or socialize during study hall.

Textbooks and classes were not the only components of a high school education. Appointments in the counseling office and visits to the library offered advantages to students who wanted advice about personal problems or needed quiet time to study.

Qemaining Alert A feat All Its Own Quietly sitting at their desks, students stared uncomprehendingly at blackboards covered with unintelligible symbols, numbers, and words. They then glanced at the clock to find that it had not budged since the last time they checked.

No matter how much they tried, they could not make time go faster.

The common situation mentioned above, boredom , faced many teenagers at school. The learning experience often involved difficult classes coupled with busy schedules and little recovery time. After waking up so early in order to come to first period, staying alert

during monotonous lectures or filmstrips became an almost impossible endeavor.

Attention spans narrowed considerably when students looked at overheads in dark, extremely warm classrooms, those especially conducive to sleep.

As a result, students were forced to resort to creative alternatives. They counted tiles on the floor, wrote notes, ate M&M's, watched the clock, or hoped for a fire drill. The most common attention diverter, according to Betsy Landy, was "doodling, of course." As a last resort, students attempted the evening's assignment.

Many teachers and stu-

dents alike tried to design methods for keeping these sleepy teenagers awake. Pop quizzes or failing grade notices (because of not paying attention) often were inspiring incentives. Somehow, though, many students managed to remain relatively attentive throughout the day.

Rumor had it they were very interested or well-disciplined or that they had consumed a great amount of early morning caffeine.

Whatever the case, they took notes on lectures, watched videotapes, and listened to speeches without falling asleep.

Computers ... the Wave of the future An empty screen sat idly by as a student attempted to use various commands to run a program. He was testing his own creation-a program that was part of his assignment for AP Computer Science.

Then there were those students who still relied on the dependability of typewriters. Even though computer technology forced the decreased use of typewriters, classes such as Typing 1,11,III & IV were popular as they provided an extensive background for keyboard uses. Typing was definitely a necessary skill to learn especially for college since many classes require typed papers.

Whether motivated by fame fortune, or pure ambi"tion, many students wisely combined their talents and entered Business Education. The area included such courses as Business Economics, where students about practical economic decision making and effective money management, Data Processing-Basic, where students experiment with various programs involving business applications, and Stenography I, taken by students wishing to major in secretarial studies.

With extensive knowledge concerning computers, typewriters, and business education, these students represented a wave of the future as they zealously pursued their goals and careers early on.

ASDFJKL. Typing requires a lot of skill and concentration as shown by these engrossed students. Typing class was a popular elective that taught students a handy skill for use in future college classes.

Working With Software. Computers play a large role in academic activities as Dr. Lechnar works perseveringly in front of a screen, preparing college recommendations.

Preparing for such a career is not as easy as some might think it to be; it requires a lot of time and effort.

Honorable Mentions Awarding the Winners Sometimes it may have seemed as if being a teenager was a thankless job.

But do not worry-if you worked your fingers to the bone, crawled starving through a sweltering desert, and relinquished all available free time, recognition always followed.

Actually, it was really not that bad. Many students deserved and received awards and honors for their accomplishments. Power of the Paws awards, based on Pride, Achievement, Work and Spirit, were given to qualified students monthly.

End of the year achievement awards also recognized accomplished students by naming specific achievements in various subject areas. "End of fhe year aw~rds · w.ere good because

they signified the end of the school year, and it made you feel good about what you accomplished throughout the year," declared Julie Kish. The end of the year awards also received special attention as the school devoted one night to each class · for a special ceremony.

Governor's School and National Merit programs also rewarded students for their efforts.

Application to Governor's School was extremely competitive, and only highly creative and unique people were accepted. Eleven seniors attended four of the five Governor's Schools, intensive five-week residential programs concentrating on specific areas of study at universities around the state. Janice Knaub, Ed

Lee, Jayne Riew, Laura Secor, Jason Garoian, and Ann Gorman created at the Governor's School for the Arts; Mark MacDonald and Susan Goldstine researched at the Governor's School for the Sciences; Pepper Santalucia and Lothian Hamilton managed money at the Governor's School for Business; and Helen Fox crossed cultures at the Governor ' s School (or International Studies.

Another academic achievement was National Merit semifinalist standing.

Twenty-one students were named semifinalists, and quite a few were given honorable mention. This was quite an accomplishment since taking the PSAT's required three hours of nastiness. The National Merit

system provided numerous advantages to those students who qualified. A student's Semi-finalist standing was appealing to admissions offices at many universities, and it could have meant numerous scholarship opportunities to finance expensive educations.

Whatever the award, students throughout the school felt honored by being recognized in such manners.

These awards proved to the students that at least someone cared enough to honor their accomplishments and efforts. Despite occasional inconveniences involving work schedules, receiving awards proved beneficial for material to include on col- · lege applications.

procedures, woodworking was a class geared toward providing general tool operation safety and building projects. Metals classes, involving the welding and shaping of metal materials to produce finished projects, introduced students to a variety of techniques and skills used in constructing metal projects. By intensively studying cars and their machine parts and systems, students also learned about mechanics and necessary maintenance. Electronics also played an important role in technology education.

For students who wanted to acquire a more in-depth

understanding of technical drawing and its variations, courses were offered in architecture, engineering graphics, and drafting. Students were able to attain moderate fluency levels in using technical jargin and to build a foundation of knowledge later applicable to a related career.

Familiarizing students with industrial equipment and its operation, technology education classes were helpful in proving the importance of industry and its development in a society so technologically advanced as ours.

Les Artistes . . Making an Impr~ion With such influences as Vincent van Gogh , Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet and Mary Cassatt, many painters were able to express their emotions on canvas using vivid, bright colors. Sculptors, photographers, and other artists also had important influences on their works. At our school many students dug deep into their souls to uncover distinct images and create new methods of expression.

The Art Department itself offered a wide range of courses from Basic Crafts to Drawing, from Photographic Arts to filmmaking, and from jewelry-making to Masters Studio. "The variety of courses offered allowed students to explore major aspects of art," said Kristin Jacoby. And besides the normal'courses, many students enrolled in Independent Study, whereby they could create their own individualized programs. For Jayne Riew, "Pastels was my favorite activity. It acted as a flexible dry medium through which errors were easily corrected."

Many of the results were then displayed in a showcase that changed frequently in order to show new pieces. These pieces often extracted ooh's and ah's from fellow classmates as they revelled at the artist's talents. The art room often acted as an escape from the real world as the artists invented new realms of existence through their works.

Artistic Flare.Independent Art classes gave many students a chance to pursue their interests in art with the guidence of their own mind. Drew Campbell took advantage of Independent Art Study to further his a rtistic goals, in ways not otherwise taught in class.

Musical Medleys Melodic Exercises in Harmony and Expre3Sion Resounding throughout the band wing could be heard the melodious music of Symphonic Band or harmonious notes of the Choir.

Whatever the group, for many of the members, music was a subject just as important, if not more so, as any other subject. For Olivia Bord "Music released life's everyday frustrations and restored my sanity; it was the ultimate form of expression." Music students were easily recognized in the halls as they carried instruments in black cases or sang songs from recent films. Most ended up dedicating their lunch periods, study halls, and any leftover free time after school to perfect their talents. Various groups like Marching Band, Concert Band, Stage Band, Choraliers, and Twentones practiced long hours in or-

der to give outstanding performances. Marching Band dazzled audiences at football games with classic and modern tunes, and Choir sang for the student body at various school assemblies.

Despite sporadic cases of butterflies and cold, clammy hands just before concerts, many students performed flawlessly, continually adding to their long list of academic accomplishments.

However, there was a unique alternative to the normal music groups. For those who wanted a more behind-the-scenes look , there was Music Theory l&II. Every day, during fourth period, five students braved the intricacies of the music staff and attempted to learn the basic principles of how to write music. Triads, scales, and key signa-

tures were common jargon in Music Theory. These students had the opportunity to write their own compositions and play their music for the class. The class was difficult and challenging, but to those students like Shelly Rayback, "Music Theory was the best class of the day."

Despite long practicing sessions and tense concerts, music groups flourished throughout the year. Not only were students able to put their accomplishments on college applications, but they also were able to express their inner feelings through the music. As Damienne Fenlon recalled, "The most descriptive phrase characterizing music is that it is love in search of words."

When the Teacher's Away The Mice Will Play After arriving to class and noticing that the teacher was absent, students began to wonder which substitute would teach the class. Sustitutes were over looked but after taking a closer look, it was easy to find interesting tid bit or two.

There are few substitute teachers who are as respected and as loved as our own Dr. William Bradley. Coming to the State College School District in 1987, Dr. Bradley was "the new kid on the block." Dr. Bradley had

had a total of fifty three years of teaching experience. After graduation from Temple Medical School in I 943, he taught for twentyfive years in high school and then taught for twenty-eight more years at Rider College, Temple University, and Montgomery College.

After retiring in 1972, he become a substitute teacher at Council Rock High School in Buck's County, where he stayed until 1985.

After touring Japan, China, and Russia, Dr. Bradley

came to settle down in State College.

In his fifty-three years teaching experience, he taught every subject form sewing to Advanced Calcu1us. Overall, he enjoys teaching pschology and science the most. By and large, he had come to love students and students havecome to love him. This can be accredited to his unique approach to teaching. He doesn't try to "high hat" his students. Dr. Bradley believes that "He learns as

much from his students as they do from him".

At eighty-five, he still takes courses on campus.

After such an illustrous career, Dr. Bradley refuses to retire from teaching and learning. According to Dr. Bradley, "If you rest, you rest. If you rust, you rot; and if you rot; you are dead." So at eighty five years of age, Dr. Bradley comes to school as anxious as ever to teach students and to learn from them, too.

Qecreation for Credit Walking into the locker rooms second period, many students asked themselves why they had taken physical education. It was too early in the morning to do anything remotely physical, especially since it usually meant going outside. But the variety of activities used in class changed the students' minds. Activities such as lacrosse, tennis, soccer, archery, badminton and volleyball woke up certain sleepy students (although the cold outside sometimes could have contributed to that). For others like Roxanne Sokol, who had it later in the day, "Gym was a break in a hectic day since it didn't require heavy concentration."

Despite the wide variety of sports, many students found a single favorite-badminton. "It was a fun recreational sport that didn't require a lot of power. I especially enjoyed smashing the birdie in peoples' faces," quipped student Heidi Koss. Juniors and seniors alike enjoyed challenging each other as they served, volleyed, and smashed the shuttlecock. A competitive spirit was definitely evident throughout the gym as badminton duos lined up attentively to meet their enemies. But then, who would have chosen a test over a friendly game of badminton?

The Qeal World A Working Experience Two specialized programs, Cooperative Work Experience and Modified School Day, combined regular education with out-of-school activities. By supplementing classroom experiences with job training or time to accelerate in athletics or other talents, these two programs allowed students to explore other areas of education.

Cooperative Work Experience students met one period a day in the classroom setting to discuss such topics as employer-employee relationships, job applications and interviews, and other employment standards and procedures. During the afternoon students spent school hours under contract with a local employer. Senior John Brubaker, employed with a plumbing contractor, commented, "I've met a lot of new people at work. Work Experience has been a great opportunity for me to learn about the real world."

Modified School Day released students early from school to participate in special activities. This flexible, individualized program allowed seniors to enhance their education by enrolling in classes at Penn State University, participating in internships in the community, or by spending extra time perfecting artistic or athletic abilities. Alistair Fraser scheduled his time to prepare for upcoming bicycle races. Having a shorter day appealed strongly to seniors who were about ready to graduate from high school and who needed some variety in their secondary education.

Cooperative Work Experience and Modified School Day allowed students to excel outside of school and proved to be memorable experiences.

Here she discusses layout technicalities with junior editor Phyllis Kuo. Chit Chat. Discussing the possibilities for Ben Resnick's Learning Enrichment Program, Mr. Nixon, the Gifted Specialist, explains the obligations and requirements.

Diversification An Educational Attempt to Broaden Horizons Consisting of three levels of enrichment options, the Learning Enrichment Program was based on the principle that students required other educational opportunites in addition to the normal cJassroom setting. Level I, Type I Enrichment (General Exploratory Activit~s), was designed to broaden experiences and interests for the entire school population.

Level II, Type II Enrichment (Group Training Activities), established special seminars or internships to advance thinking and problem-solving skills. Level III, Type III Enrichment (Individual and Small Group Investigations of Real Prob-

!ems), had students create individual programs including community service, mentorships, and independent study.

One alternative for students this past year involved Type III Enrichment. As a result, a large number of students supplemented their, in-school education with ou t-of-school activities, making for interesting but rather hectic schedules.

Mary Miles, a senior, created an internship through the Learning Enrichment Program in which she volunteered her time at State Representative Lynn Herman's office. Considering her interests in law and poli-

tics, she felt that the experience was interesting and rewarding. Another senior, Damienne Fenlon, practiced her flute and piano and attended music classes at Penn State.

Besides the unique learning opportunities students enjoyed, many especially remembered leaving school before the normal dismissal time. Especially for seniors, getting out early meant relaxation from the hectic school scene, but also meant tension due to a full lineup of afternoon events, whether they included classes, volunteering, or practicing.

Breeding Minds A farmin3 Perspective The Vocational Agricultural program, offered in grades 9-12, gave students the opportunity to pursue their interests in agriculture. After joining Vo-Ag, a myriad of talented students was initiated into FFA, the Future Farmers of America.

The Yo-Ag program met for two periods daily.

Areas studied included animal science (dairy and swine production, judging and butchering), plant science, ag mechanics, and agri-business. Mr. David Blank, the substitute teacher while Mr. Seamans was on sabbatical, commented, "Graduates of the Yo-Ag program have a general knowledge about agriculture that will he.Ip in post-secondary education and in getting a job."

Besides the normal classroom activites, Vo-Ag students participated in a wide range of social activities, including square dancing competitions, animal displays at the Grange Fair, fruit sales as a fundraiser and the annual FF A banquet.

The Vo-Ag program provided a chance for students to receive an in-depth view of agriculture and its variations. It also provided numerous opportunities for students to learn leadership skills. Senior Dustin Brown summed up his ¡interest in agriculture and his participation in the program by saying, "I enjoy Ag, and I want to learn more about it."

vices, Carpentry, Cabinetmaking, Building and Trades Maintenance, Masonry, Electricity, Graphic Arts, Human Services, Data Processing, Dental Assisting, and Cosmetology. Every Vo-Tech student also joined the Vo-Tech club.

Social activities played a major role in the Vo-Tech learning experience. Field trips were taken to such exciting destinations as Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Tussey Mountain. The Vo-Tech students held special luncheons and picnics, participated in the annual homecoming parade (where they placed third), and entered several contests. They

won first place at a special heavy equipment operators competition.

The Vo-Tech was a unique program boasting diverse disciplines that students could excel in. Rich Ghaner commented that, "When I have kids, I'd like to send them to Vo-Tech because you learn in different areas of study while attending two different schools."

Mary Decker in Heavy Equipment Operation stressed, " The Vo-Tech is good for those who can't afford a college education because it gives specialized training in a trade."

Another Choice For Leaming the Basics The Alternative Program offered students and their parents the opportunity to work with the staff to set goals, design a unique learning program catered to each individual, and initiate the necessary measures needed to achieve those goals. Seventh through twelfth graders attended classes at the AP, their home schools and PSU; completed independent contracts and internships; and participated in service learning with resource persons in the community. They participated in various exper i ential learning activities to meet the secondary course and credit requirements of the

State College Area School District.

Classes at the AP focused on particular aspects of a curriculum area (such as "The Sixties and Seventies") for a short "cycle," instead of offering a broad topic (such as "American History") for the school year. T he classroom atmosphere boasted an informal style as students and faculty shared friendly relationships and discussed personal issues. Reading, writing, and research were some of the skills covered in most classes. Students often participated in group projects and discussions as members of classes consisting of multi-

age and multi-grade participants.

Students found a sense of community and support in their "clumps" (groups of students having the same staff advisor) and in participation in other groups such as the All School Meeting, the counseling team, and the Advisory Council. The smallness, personal attention, flexibility, and group cooperation offered by the AP provided an educational choice for families of the school district who understood and supported its philosophy and a memorable experience for the students.

Basic Concept3 <ÂŁ>tudents Take Initiative The Alternative Program was a viable option for students who preferred an individualized approach to curriculum. The Program stressed independence, flexibility, cooperation, and responsibility. While receiving guidance and assistance from faculty, staff, and parents, students assumed the initiative for developing their educational experiences. These experiences directly led to decisions about their present course of study and their future careers. Each personalized learning program was specifically designed to meet the interests and needs of students in relation to their course selection, content goals, deadlines, and evaluation procedures. Set in a friendly, small school atmosphere, the Alternative Program "was able to offer a diversity of course options, and it relied heavily on student input," according to Christi Brandstatter.

Over one hundred and fifty students selected the Alternative Program as an option for their secondary education.

Character Building As individuals, we weren't just another brick in the general wall of life.

Instead each one of us was an integral part of the whole, making our contribution to the overall State High experience, each different element adding spice and pizazz. People made up those elements-they come in all shapes and sizes, with a wide spectrum of interests. It was up to the construction crew of teachers, staff, and fellow students to develop and put the pieces together. If all goes well, by the time we pass inspection, we will have finished being UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

laim Staking Leaving Our Mark

Seniors

The transition to a new era characterized this year's senior class. We bridged the gap from the old traditions to the new innovations. The seniors had to take the good with the bad in order for the school to progress. We were the last class to have enjoyed the Spring rite of lawn-sitting. However, the sports complex was not completed in time for our use.

The seniors were compensated with the addition of the soda machines in the cafeteria. We were the first, though, to feel the pressure of the new graduation requirements and had to contend with the cessation of permanent passes. However, the revamped Learning Enrichment program coupled with Modified School Day/ Cooperative Work Experience was more flexible in allowing

students to leave school early in order to pursue coursework at Penn State, become gainfully employed, or to intern at local businesses. It was the last year that students were allowed to smoke in the designated area on school grounds. The seniors also saw the revival of the Coffeehouse, an event in which talented students performed for their peers. Student Council was also successful in getting a lounge for use during study halls. Although the availability of this privilege was limited, it was a step in the right direction. The seniors had the distinction of being the last class to graduate in the eighties. With all of the good and the bad that the class had experienced, our motto should have been, "Grin and bear it!"

Now Listen Closely to My Plan. Leaving a constant reminder of the class of 1989 was extremely important to t.he student body. Mary Rininger explains the senior prank to a group of interested listeners.

he Elementary Years: A Profile of the Past An extraordinary number of students were born and raised in State College, a fact that has led to an intimate senior class.

Therefore, embarrassing stories are forever relived a nd retold. From childhood boyfriends and girlfriends to demerits and lunchboxes, some things are unique to elementary schools. Fighting over swings or seesaws or jungle gyms occupied the treasured recess. The more aggressive played boys chase the girls or even girls chase the boys. From

double dutch to chinese jumprope, games were increasingly difficult. Then, there were the embarrassing moments such as spilling a lunch tray in front of the cafeteria or being uncoordinated in gym. We were the generation of clogs and Jordache jeans. The fads of friendship pins and lip-smackers were some of the highlights of our elementary school years.

Despite the strong attraction of these phases, we moved on, conquering all in our way. Elementary school became a dis-

ehind the Facade The Opinions of the Masses After polling the senior class, the students selected Mrs. Mary York and Mr. Tim Glick as their favorite teachers. Mrs. Polly McWilliams came in a close third.

Mrs. York taught Advanced Junior English and Senior College Prep English. She was notorious for assigning speeches on books that the junior class was reading and administered many spelling, vocabulary and punctuation tests to her senior English class.

Mr. Glick, the Senior American Government teacher and

Mr. G lick's students will remember the "Senate Simulation" and the "Bullets and Ballots" simulation game in which the class became different groups in Guatemala fighting for their independence: Known for her perpetual smile and good humor, Mrs. McWilliams teaches both Senior Advanced Placement and Senior College Prep English.

Her most notable quirk was

her teapot with which she served her students tea, coffee, or even a cup of soup. She thought that the rewards of teaching were two-fold. She said, "I enjoy working with students who are inciteful and enthusiastic." In addition she enjoyed exchanging ideas about literature.

All three of these teachers were well deserving of this honor. Their deep commitment to the educational process showed in their devoted attention toward their students. They are indeed true educators.

Seniors

Seniors spent more time completing college applications than doing anything else.

So when it was all over, was it really worth the stress? Some students filled out as many as seven applications, each requiring three essays. They wore out typewriter ribbons and used reams of paper while drafting and editing. AIJnighters were the only way to make the last postmark date possible. After the stress of just getting the application in, the time for worrying began.

Meanwhile, the financial aid form had to be filed in an attempt to finance the $20,000 a year tuition. So after all this work, ironically, most seniors

attended Penn State. Penn State does have its advantages.

Students already know what to expect of the university and are familiar with the campus. Economically, Penn State is a great deal, especially with the faculty tuition break. It is one of the top ten public universities in the country and is listed in the top ten party schools in the nation. The many fraternities and sororities become havens for new students. Despite students' insistence that they will attend Penn State for the quality education and to remain close to home, chances are that they saw the survey, too.

igh and Dry Life Without a Lawn It was early December, and the classroom seemed very grey. Refuge was taken by looking out the window at the expanse of still-living grass that separated the campus from Westerly Parkway. There was no grass. It was early December, and the classroom seemed very grey. Refuge was taken by looking out the window at the expanse of asphalt and cars and trucks of all colors, shapes and sizes that isolated everyone from the world of State College because no one could figure out how to get into the new parking lot. This new state of affairs came as a shock to the seniors who thought they would make it through with the lawn still intact. But perhaps, those forlorn souls, who in the past had to wade through mud and slush

and rain-slicked grass to move back and forth between the Intermediate and Senior High Schools, viewed the solidification of the area as a definite change for the better. Life without a lawn meant an end to springtime frisbee -throwing and outdoor classes in the grass. It was tough for those who had enjoyed sleeping or reading under a tree from time to time, and it certainly is not as pretty as it used to be. So, sitting in a grey December classroom, we glanced out the windows only to be greeted by a hundred pairs of headlights.

At least, handles were added to the downstairs doors and the soda machines were installed in the cafeteria. And maybe, when the Class of '89 is long gone, there will be antless picnics in the parking lot.

hinking Ahead Goals for the Future Adults, when looking at a seven or eight year old child, are often at a loss for words.

They flounder, unable to chose between intelligible conversation and baby talk. They usually settle for a combination of the two and ask the secondgrader what he would like to be when he grows up. This is a terrible question in many respects. First, by placing such emphasis on the future, the adult downgrades the importance of childhood. This question is in the same category as

comments like, "We'll do lunch." The adult does not really expect any reaction. If this cherub turned to the person and in a dignified manner responded that he wanted to be a physicist by day, a singer by night, and wanted to fly airplanes on the weekends, the adult would again be speechless. He probably would have been happier if the child wished to be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader or football player.

Kids are becoming more creative in answering the question

about their future . No longer is the typical response a fireman, doctor, or nurse but rather a neurosurgeon, a brontosaurus (Don't ask!), or a vagrant. At least they too are showing their exasperation with the topic.

So, whether there has been one dream of "chemistry forever!" or a latitude of career possibilities ranging from that of a scientist to a profession in the humanities, life is long enough to do it all. Who knows, maybe it will be possible to 路 be a dinosaur.

pendent on the weekend and completely out of control. His actions were not his own. H is parents could not comprehend the sudden change in his behavior. The young man was diagnosed with an ailment commonly known as senioritis. It was completely incurable and highly infectious, mere conversation caused contraction.

Once obtained, the only way to overcome this syndrome was to dedicate one's self to life on the wild side. Life became pleasurable again, and small matters such as school were a thing of the past, the distant past.

T herefore, senioritis could be construed unknowingly as laziness.

Time Out. Jim Hollis finds the day a little too challenging and must take a quick nap. Tuning out the world with his walkman, Jim finds that study hall passes rather quickly. Despite the pile of books and homework on his desk, he decides that sleeping is a better use of

his time. Some students arc stricken with senioritiseven in the early months of school. Probably the rest of the year will be as hopeless for them. However, all students find first period Monday morning difficult to face.

n Tiptoes Lights, Camera, Action Dancing was a way of life for senior, Kirsten Hauser. She studied modern, ballet, and jazz dance and taught at the YMCA and the Dance Academy of State College. Her thirteen year commitment enabled her to perform in the Nutcracker with the Allegheny Dance Company, at the Arts Festival and workshops at schools. She usually conformed to the traditional black tights and leotards, although she preferred boxers and a t-shirt. She studied with both the Central

Pennsylvania Dance Theatre and the Penn State Contemporary Dance Company. When asked which dance form was the most rigorous, Kirsten said, "It all depends on the instructor and the type of dance; ballet is the toughest." Because dancing gave her a sense of accomplishment, she intended to further her studies in college.

Somehow, she found the time to take a heavy courseload and still remained devoted to her art.

Senior year classes seemed to revolve around eating .

Whether sipping tea in Mrs McWilliams' classes, making delicacies in Senior Foods, or munching on brownies or popcorn in Dr. Lechnar's Reading and Writing, consumption of . food was a main component of the curriculum. These eating rituals were in addition to dining in the cafeteria or a favorite downtown restaurant. All of this feasting must have implied an increase in physical exercise and where better to get fit than in gym class. Senior physical education was not a terribly strenuous class, though. If talented at badminton, one could stand relatively still with only a modicum of movement and force the opponent to run back and forth across court. Although one poor soul may have

derived cardiovascular benefits, trimming down did not occur there. Perhaps, mental exercise was the key. Senior English was rather invigorating with the extensive reading assignments and math was always a challenge. Of course, it was a vicious cycle- the harder the coursework and the more homework that was assigned, the more food that one must consume to stimulate brain cells and to keep the mind functioning . The "freshman ten" was a well-known fact but the high school senior ten was absolutely ridiculous.

Sticky S ituation. All caught up in the saran wrap, Tate Baumrucker cooks delicacies in Senior Foods. Aromas from the Home Economics room make others jealous of Senior Foods' students.

Pizza Hut Pina for Lunch. One favorite senior pastime is eating out at local restaurants. Jen Kretchmar relishes the last bites of her pizza during an afternoon spent with the girls.

Dive Bombing. Exerting himself in gym class, Chip Kogelmann slides across the hard wood floor in order to save the yellow fluorescent birdie and leads his team to victory. If you put

your heart into it, playing badminton can be extremely tiring not to mention what it does to your knees. However, most seniors choose to take leisurely approach to the game.

he Hulk Complex Lessons in Bicep Building The neighbors thought it was the incredible hulk syndrome but that was too fantastic. The actual explanation was that senior year was filled with bicepbuilding classes. From the two and one eighth inch thick calculus book to the College Prep English text, seniors were doomed to have sore arms. An average student could have expected to have had ten inches in textbooks not to mention the folders and binders needed for each class. Senior bedrooms

Seniors

were filled with stacks of college mail, all of these books, and the necessary tapes, stereo and clothes. Still worse, extracurricular activities and sports contributed more baggage.

Athletic students added a gym bag full of equipment making lockers impossible to close. After fighting the battle to shove all of the books and regalia into a 10 inch by 4 foot cub by hole, the rest of the day was spent managing pounds and pounds of paper. Lugging books be-

came the bane of seniors' existence. Although some saw the time-saving advantage of pumping books rather than iron, most did not relish the idea of toting bags of homework and books between classes. The myth that seniors do not own textbooks much less carry them certainly does not apply to this school. The cliches, being knee deep and up to one's ears, depending on the course load may not be so figurative.

ead Centered School Instead of Pools?

Mounds of thawing snow mixed with muddy patches of grass covered the parking Jot. The bell sounded for first period and thus, Spring Break '89 began. Although it was not the t ypica l id ea of Caribbean beaches or ski resorts, seniors should have been happy for this extra time to spend with friends as commencement drew closer. However, if the thought of missing some exotic vacation was too distressing, there were some drastic mea-

sures avaiJable. First, filling a room with a couple of inches of sand and turning the heat up to seventy-five degrees could simulate a week spent in St. Croix.

O r, if a European vacation was more appealing, there was the opportunity to corner a foreign exchange student and force him to converse in his native tongue. So, State College could have been just as exciting with a little imagination. Anyway, tanning salons were open after school.

Down Memory Lane Leaving a school where one had spent so much time was always difficult and therefore, the memories that were taken to college were very important.

Seniors always said that they would remember their friends the most. Friendship was such an integral part of life in high school. However, funny or embarrassing events often became the most vivid recollections of the school year. Students admitted to some of the strangest experiences. One student was

unable to work the combination on the locker and had to have a janitor cut the lock off only to realize that it was the wrong locker. Students a lso pointed to the dents in their heads from constantly walking into the poles in the main lobby. Others remembered embarrassing stories such as losing their clothes during school or walking into the wrong bathroom. Some of the best memories were of punishments or trips to the office. Most seniors

were chased by Mr. Farmer in the school parking lot or got in trouble for loaning their car to a friend. These experiences coupled with scrapbooks of the dance marathon, Senior Prom, graduation, and school related trips will forever be remembered when studying for a college final. On those cold lonely nights, we sat back and remembered with a smile all the funny events that happened in high school.

A Blast For Our Last. Demonstrating our superiority, the seniors were the victorious class at Almost Anything Goes, the fundraiser for the Diabetes Foundation. It was held in the gymnasium on December 12, 1988. From the

success in the individual events of the tug-of-war, the tennis ball race, and the dress-up relay, the seniors showed their spirit and their ability to work together. The slogan on their shirts, A Blast For Our Last, was representative

of the pervading atmosphere during this spirited occasion. The seniors defeated the juniors, sophomores, faculty, and freshmen respectively.

Despite careful planning and preparation, unexpected problems and embarrassing situations often occur on the first hectic day. While some incidents were truly embarrassing, others actually helped to brighten the day. John McNulty proudly stated, "Someone conft1sed me with Tom Cruise." A common occurrence, to the delight of onlookers, was the dilemma of spewing one's books in the hall or tripping unexpectedly down the stairs. After entering his first class late, Stan Preschutti realized that he was in the wrong room. "I was already upset about being late, but when I realized I entered the

Juniors

wrong room, I got out of there pretty quickly." Another embarrassing incident was when Leschia Arpaszew accidently walked into the boy's bathroom. "At first r couldn't figure out what was so funny!"

Most juniors, new to the senior high, were unaccustomed to the size of their new lockers.

Besides the tight fit, the lockers also proved to be difficult to open and close. Not only that, there were a number .of defective locks issued on the first day. Phyllis Kuo stated, "The lockers were so small that I had to stick everything in the yearbook office."

Although the problems 路were minor, they caused a great deal of anxiety. But, many students were glad to be back to school for a change of pace and to see old friends. The first day of school alleviated the monotony of summer days and summer jobs. The initial return to school brought the prospect of new friends, new challenges, and one year closer to graduation.

A Whole New Way of Life sea of new faces, hallways leading nowhere, utter confusion. Slowly, these differences became almost unnoticeable to the new students as they adapted to Happy Valley. This year, approximately twenty-five new juniors transferred to State High from various states and foreign countries.

Because the adjustment of being "the new kid on the block" was difficult, the new students formed a discussion group with counselors to share their mixed emotions and frustrations. Through their discus-

AJ

sions, many of the new students felt much more comfortable dealing with loneliness, homesickness, and their new surroundings.

Many who came from smaller schools felt that State High was intimidating at first. Karen Lechnar remarked, "The biggest difference between my school, and this one is the size.

It's so big here, and there are so many people. Where I came from , you knew everyone."

There were also changes for the new students to cope with that many of us accepted as a way of life. A foreign student, Josephine Tsai, said, "I really

like study halls because at my old school, the classes ran all day except for a lunch break.

Study halls give me a chance to catch up on homework, meet new people and relax from my busy academic schedule."

Although State High seemed confusing at first, most students adjusted easily into the routine of a new school.

Despite the anxiety and stress, almost all would agree that with new friends and unique challenges made moving and starting a new life almost enjoyable.

The junior year, so much to fear, SAT time had drawn near. Sixteen hundred points of doom, forever in the records loom. Math and English, measured skill, the tiny circles one must fill. Dare one hope his score will rate - or was comatose his state?

T

he Scholastic AptiTest, commonly -:!:_.I known as the SAT, was taken in the spring by fifty percent of the high school junior class. For months, they experienced unneccessary anxiety attacks stemming from extracurricular studying. Tension built because the juniors knew their educational future was riding on the results of this exam. Realizing this, they

came prepared. Students a rrived with their number two pencils and their two forms of identification. These scholars were ready to face the awesome challenge that was set before them. As colleges waited with watchful eyes, the SAT took a closer look at the cumulative math skills and English concepts learned and studied throughout high school. Each student faced peer pressure

and the personal desire to achieve the highest score possible. These scores, combined with each student's accumulated grade point average were necessary for successful college entrance. Although those who were college bound had no choice, each made the best of a difficult but necessary high school experience. The true meaning of the acronym SAT? Serious Adolescent Trauma.

Juniors experience a new-found dating freedom as they finally reach the driving age. The typical pre- date anxieties still remained the same; however, in some cases, they seemed even larger.

Dating Changes !though most of the students in the class of 1990 had dated before this year, a new twist was added to the dating situation. Because of a driver's license, more freedom and independence came to going out. Students appreciated dating without a parental chaperone.

However, even though dating was f!10re fun--the tension, if its level changed at all, increased. Think back to that first date with that special someone when you wondered,

"Is my hair a mess?" "Did I wear the right shirt?" Usually it was all in vain as everything was perfect and the date went off without a hitch. The junior class could easily cope with dating and driving--and even dating all by itself.... Making the social year a blast and well worth the while.

"I know that it LOOKS like a '4', but believe me-it's really a '9'." At the end of each marking period, these phrases ring repeated Iy throughout each classroom.

Because college applications

and scholarships loomed in the near future, grades became an obsession, not just a yardstick of development. Shalane Gee explained, "Students tried everything from questioning test answers to squeezing out extra credit points to grab the next higher grade." After a while, the grade seemed more important than the knowledge and the effort. Keith Watson remarked, " People compete so much that they don 't really

care what they learn, as long as they get good grades."

The pressure built up and endless sleepless nights were spent in search of the perfect grade point average. Students turned into academic machines, bent on getting good grades. Social lives and students' general well-being suffered as the familiar theme echoed throughout the halls ... " Gotta get an 'A'."

hey may be the guys whose money everyone borrows. They may be the guys whose help everyone seeks. They may be the guys who have something in common with just about everyone. But most of all they are the guys whom everyone enjoys spending time with. They listened when things needed to be said, and talked when advice was badly needed. Friends could throw new light on seemingly hopeless situations and took the time to be there when things got rough. They always made us smile and helped make every day a little more special, a little more fun.

Above all, they made us feel good about them and about ourselves. Sometimes the important things friends did went unnoticed amidst the good times of a friendship.

Although friendships existed between a large number of students, relationships were based on a special level of personal trust. Having a best friend re-

fleeted a sign of deeper confidence, but many people hesitated to rank their friends in any particular order. "I really don't have just one best friend anymore, just a group of close friends," remarked Amy Houtz. However, some did have that special friend.

"When our eighth grade English teacher sat us next to each other neither of us thought that we would become such good friends. We didn't know each other at all but the past few years have really changed that," commented Judy Liu. Although through time friends may go their separate ways, most will always be together in spirit. For some, this may even strengthen their friendship.

ment. Many of us had been attending school in the State College District all of our academic lives. Whether it had been twelve, five, or just one year, the Senior High became our school, and we became Little Lions.

Before being able to hold this title, we all had to complete certain hasic "initiation" requirements. For example, a true Little Lion would have attended the Homecoming pep rally instead of sneaking around the auditorium to freedom. Seeing a Thespian production or participating in one

was an additional prerequisite.

Taking part in the grueling Dance Marathon was just one more requirement. Another "initiation" task was surviving the common dilemma of a schedule change. These were just several of the many activities which made us true Little Lions.

ARE YOU A TRUE LITTLE LION? l. Buy a yearbook.

2. Go to a home football game, especially Homecoming.

Teachers Speak In Many Tongues

T

pcoof of Newton's Thicd Law was diligently derived by Mr. John Hopkins. The students knew what was coming. When he wrote the final line, a chorus joined him in saying the inevitable, "Chick, chick, chick, BING!" Teachers used many pet phrases, from funny to annoying. For example, Dr. Williem van den Berg constantly said, "I have to put on my glasses so I can hear." Mrs. Annalee Henderson often told her classes, "This graph is beautiful, isn't it?" When he passed out quizzes and tests, Mr. Michael Patrilak said, "Put your name on your quiz unless you want to get even with someone. Then put his name on your paper."

Some teacher's sayings were part of a lecture about the students' behavior. For example, Mr. Tom Mills was famed for his lecture, "You can't just stick your head in the sand and hope that mole problems are going to go away because they never will." Mrs. Marion Winsor often asked her classes, "Why are you so tired? It's not an AREA day!" Mr. Richard Victor subtlely controlled the Marching Band's behavior by saying, "What would happen if everyone in the band did that?"

History teachers also had many unusual catch phrases. Dr. Michael Lechnar told his AP American History class for difficult foreign 11ames to "Spell it like it sounds!" Also, Dr. Greg Ferrn went "the whole nine yards" frequently in his American History classes. Perhaps the wisest phrase of ~II was Mrs. Mary York's saying, "Relax!"

"Could You Expla in This Problem?" After class was a convenient time for students to get help with classwork. Tina Wills used her time to ask for help in math from Mrs. Debra Kerr.

Vice Versa: What If Students Were Teachers For a Day? ne of the greatest human desires is to become something one is not. Many students wanted to become teachers for a day. Some wanted to make teaching a career. Surprisingly, teachers felt that if they were back in school, they would probably not be ideal students.

"That's a terrible question!" exclaimed Mrs. Mary Bytheway when asked how she would act as a student.

"Of course, I would want to say I'd be the perfect student, but I think I'd be more typical than standout. If I were a student again, I would want a teacher who could keep me interested in the subject and who could give good explanations."

Junior Catie Buck wanted to become a professor in the future. For her, "The most important thing would be to let the students know that I am excited about what I teach. Otherwise, why should they care? Beyond that, I'd feel a responsibility to see my students as viable, cognizant people with relevant ideas." Catie found inspiration in several of the teachers in the high schools. She added, "My role models from Intermediate High School are Dr. Ron Wilkerson and Mrs. Callie Kingsbury because discussion is central in their classes." Debbie Lupp, a senior, said, "I think I would be a fun teacher. l'm president of a club, and it really bothers me when I'm trying to talk and no one is paying attention to me. So I would be strict about that, but I'd still try to make class interesting."

Teachers and students agreed that classes should be interesting as well as pertinent and that no one could typify the perfect student.

Broadening Horizons Brings New Experiences To Classroom.s hen life became too difficult, people took time out from their work to relax. For teachers, sabbaticals were one of the many ways of taking a long-term break from school life.

Teachers took sabbaticals for many reasons.

English teacher Mrs. Mary York traveled to China with her husband to teach English as a second language to college students during the spring semester. Mrs. Charlotte deLissovoy, an English and Russian teacher, took the year off because she wanted a break. This was a popular reason for taking a sabbatical, though usually combined with other reasons. Others "resting" included Mrs. Norma McDonald, a Spanish teacher; Mr. Rick Gesell, an Industrial Arts instructor; and Mr. David Seamans, the Vocational Agriculture teacher.

Sabbaticals weren't just for rest and relaxation.

Many teachers used the time to pursue their other interests. Mr. Milo Williams, a biology instructor, stayed at Yellowstone National Park during the first semester since he wanted to lenghten his annual visit and continue his duties as a park ranger. He was able to see firsthand the horrible forest fires that ravaged the park.

Junior Judy Liu felt that, "Sometimes it was an inconvenience for students to get used to a new teacher in the middle of the year, especially when their manner of grading was significantly different."

Teaching nine months was not a requirement as many instructors took sabbaticals. T hese minivacations often served as opportunities to relax, although some used the free time to pursue hobbies.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night r. Wilbert H. Hartman passed _ away on Wednesday, July 27, 1988, at the Hershey Medical Center. Mr. Will Hartman taught in the school district for nineteen years as the orchestra director and as music coordinator. Previous to his work in State College, he taught music in Briarcliff, New York.

After he graduated from William Penn High School in Harrisburg, PA, M r. Hartman continued his education at the Eastman School of Music and received his bachelor's degree in music education from Lebanon Valley College in 1952. He then obtained his master's degree from New York University in New York, NY. Besides working at the high schools, Mr. Hartman also was the choir director of the State College Presbyterian Church, taught private lessons for stringed instruments, and was a member of the Nittany String Quartet. He was the assistant director of both the Nittany Valley Symphony and the Summer String Program at Messiah College in Grantham, PA, and served as the guest conductor of various orchestra festivals in central Pennsylvania. In ~ddition to being a member of the Music Educators National Conference, he also belonged to the Pennsylvania State Education Association. He was a member of the United States Air Force Reserve Band.

In their spring concert, the State CoUege High School Symphonic Band dedicated the piece "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" to Mr. Hartman.

In addition, the District VI Orchestra festival in Somerset, PA, was dedicated to him.

Mr. Hartman's talent and dedication was admired by both his colleagues and his students. Concert mistress Sally Kim said of him, "Mr. Hartman was a good teacher; someone we could look up to. He was serious about his work; but at the same time, be was friendly and humorous."

Gentle Memories. Mr. Wilbert H. Hartman's devotion to the school, community, and church make him greatly missed.

Bad Timing The State College football team began its season in the searing days of August with high expectations, but the teachers' strike in early September left them without guidance for nine days. For the remainder of the season the squad struggled to regroup.

With a group of talented seniors and hard working underclassmen, the team started its August practices with high expectations. Ron Dickerson, Bob Oakes, Matt McClellan, and the other seniors expected to lead the team through a successful campaign.

The team started on the right track with a win over Indian Val ley. Then disaster struck. Because of the teachers' strike, the team had no organized practices for nine days.

Displaying the group unity that was so characteristic of this year's squad, the team held practices on its own until the strike ended.

Unfortunately, the nine day "vacation" had done its damage. The team had to forfeit its game against Cumberland Val-

Jey and had only three days to prepare for its game against powerful Erie Prep. Senior Brian Hale said of the situation, "The strike took us back to the point we were during two-adays. It really threw our timing

off."

Lost in Thought. At a preseason practice, Coach Ron Pavlechko reflects on his team's chances for the season. The coaches' effort to get the team in shape was interrupted by ihe teachers路 strike in early September.

Throughout the remainder of the season the team struggled, losing several tough games. The highpoint of the season came when the team won back-to-back victories, including a 27-0 shutout of Dubois on Homecoming Night.

Though the team had its troubles, it continued to try to work together. Although they had a losing season, the players will long remember the good times they had on and off the field and the hard work they put in to regain that lost time.

Finding the Right Lineup While most kids were still enjoying their summer fun, members of the State ttigh field hockey team were sweating in the hot August sun as they prepared for another tough season. With the help of ttead Coach Becky Trunzo, Assistant Coach Lori Renninger and former Penn State player Sue Sommars, the team worked out early troubles and finished as one of the top eight teams in the state.

Unlike other fall sports teams, the field hockey team continued to practice and compete with coaching throughout the teachers' strike. The team enjoyed the extra time to sleep, rest sore muscles and concentrate solely on field hockey without the hassle of homework. The team, made up of mostly seniors, faced a big challenge in the first half of the season as the players tried new positions in an attempt to find the best lineup. Around midseason, Coach Trunzo took a medical leave, and coaching duties were left mainly to Assistant Coach Lori Renninger.

team spirit and hard work.

With intense practices, persistence, and Tammy McCormick's favorite phrase, "GET PSYCHED!" the team overcame its problems. Speed and skill led them to a 2-0 victory over Indian Valley in the District YI championship game.

The team then won its PIAA first round game against North Allegheny, but a hard-hitting, intimidating Haverford team defeated them in the Quarterfinal game by a score of 2-0. It was a frustrating season, but one which eventually ended in a measure of success as the squad finished as one of the eight best teams in Pennsylvania.

Starting Out Right The first girls' varsity soccer team, although lacking experience, had great team spirit and a desire to learn, enabling them to make their first season a successful one.

This year was a memorable one for those girls who have been long awaiting the addition of girls' soccer to the list of interscholastic sports. With its new status as a varsity sport, State High girls' soccer joined the ranks of the fastest-growing girls' interscholastic sport in the country. The popularity of the sport at State High was shown by the participation of twenty-seven girls, ranging from freshman to seniors.

Coached by Mr.Dennis Hall, a former boys' spring league soccer coach, this inaugural season was a definite success as the inexperienced team finished with a respectable record of 5-4-1.

The season started a little slowly as the Little Lady Lions dropped games to Somerset and Centre County Christian

Academy , but the varsity squad turned things around and defeated the next four out of five opponents, including a 7-1 dominating performance over Grier and a 4- 1 victory over Indiana.

Next year's squad will miss the leadership and experience of all the senior players, many of whom played in fall soccer leagues prior to this season.

These included midfielder Heather Liszka, the team's leading scorer; Carrie Stewart, Tracy Schaeffer, Kim D'Agostino and Michelle Winkler, key defensive players; Shay Wagner, striker; and Julie Yoder and Lori Bicehouse, midfielders. Still, the team can look forward to the play of talented underclassman Jen Geesey, Tami Foster, Jenna Bergman, and Maggie Super.

Meeting Their Match With many talented seniors returning, the boys' soccer team knew they would have a great season. During a long season they suffered only two losses, both to the Blue Devils of Mount Lebanon, and finished with an impressive 19-2-2 record, a District 6 championship, and a eighth place state ranking.

~

Over the years the State College soccer team had difficulty beating the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils of Mount Lebanon have proven themselves to be very tough opponents. Whether it be the humiliating 5- 1 loss at the Devil's astroturf field last year or the hard-fought 2-0 loss on a cold, muddy field in Somerset which brought this season to a close, the Little Lions have always considered the matchup to be the key game of every season.

Although it was certain that that two low points of the season were the losses to Mount Lebanon, there were also many high points. One of them came early in the season when the team competed in the Elco Tournament. Last year the Lions lost 2-1 to Lower Merion, a team that not only won the tournament, but also the state

title later in the season. This year the Lions sought revenge.

On the rain-soaked field, the teams battled through ninety minutes of play to a 1-1 tie. In

With the regular season coming to a close, the Lions looked at the playoff picture.

With just one Joss and two ties, the team realized that in order to gain the District title, they would have to play Somerset at their home field. With teamwork and superior play, the Lions dominated the game, scoring within the first five minutes and eventually winning the District championship by a 5-1 score. With many of the team's starters graduating, it will be interesting to see whether future teams can overcome past defeats and finally defeat the Blue Devils of Mount Lebanon.

Keeping the Tradition The State College boys' cross country team has long been notorious as a top power in the state, and th.i s year they once again lived up to their expectations as they finished second at the PIAA State Championships.

The cross country season began early in August with three weeks of grueling double sessions. The team came on strong early when they won the Big Valley Invitational, but were unable to compete for the next two weeks due to the teachers' strike. After a very disappointing showing at the Spiked Shoe Invitational, held only two days after fall sports were reinstated, the boys began to rebuild.

After placing second in the Conrad Weiser Invitational, the boys pulled off an impressive and decisive victory over perennial District VI rival Altoona. At the Bellefonte dual meet, held in Bel lefonte, Bundy, Clark, Lynch, Pritch-

ard, and Steiner all broke the course record, and four days later the same five placed in the top ten at the Indian Valley Invitational. At the Happy Valley Championships, this same group tied for first place, while winning the team title.

The team won Districts easily by once again defeating Altoona. The victory was the nineteenth straight District title for the team, and the twenty-seventh title in the thirty-two years the sport has existed at State High. At the PIAA State meet, the boys, who were ranked third, upset Punsxatawney in claiming the second place title.

Beyond Expectations Having lost all but one of the varsity runners from last season, the girls' cross country team was not expected to be a strong power but Coach Steve Gentry and the runners themselves all had high expectations and incredible determination.

The 1988 girls' cross country season was a season not only of teaming, rebuilding, and hard work, but also of great achievements, improvements, and satisfaction. ln years past the State High girls had never finished lower than fifth in the PIAA State Championships. This year they were not even expected to qualify for the meet.

Reaching New Heights Experience and health turned out to be the key elements for third-year Coach Donna McPherson's team. Returning were five varsity starters, but key injuries hindered the team and the squad struggled until the starting lineup was restored.

With many returning players, the gir ls' volleyball team approached their season with confidence. Among those returning were three-year setter Trish Strong, outside hitter Jen Heydenreich, defensive specialist Heidi Koss, hitter Sara Cookson, and junior middle blocker Kelly Enscore.

The girls got off to a dominating start by winning their first five games of the season and advancing to the playoffs of the Dubois Invitational, where they lost in the semi-final round to the eventual tournament champs.

Adding to the stability and success of the squad were middle blockers Kary Lysaker and Devon Corneal, defensive specialist Ardra Comly, setter Maria Prewitt, and outside hit-

ter Jen Yoder. Unfortunately injury began to plague the team, and they soon dropped their record to 5-5.

Finally, upon the return of the starting line-up, superb teamwork and the balance of both a powerful offense and a strong defense allowed the girls to finish their regular season with a six game winning streak.

District playoffs started with an easy victory over Central Cambria (15-2, 15-3) but the girls lost a heart breaking match to Huntingdon, the topseeded team ( 13-15, 15- 13, 1215). Although the squad did not advance to the state playoffs, the girls can be proud of completing the 1988 season with the best record ( 12-6) ever for a State High girls volleyball team.

The 1989 boys' volleyball squad, only the fourth State High team si nce the sport was added to the school's roster, had high goals at the beginning of the season. Coached by Tod McPherson(head coach) and wife Donna McPherson(assistant), the team has had successful seasons in the past but has never won a District or State title. Last year the team headed into the District Tournament with a strong record, but when it came to crunch time the team fell short and their season ended.

Teeing Off The State High boys' and girls' golf teams have long been dominating forces in the state and this year proved to be no different as both teams recorded near perfect records.

The State H igh boys' golf team recorded another fine showing in the 1988 season. At 25-1 they suffered only one loss to Hollidaysburg. Due to the cold weather, the match was shortened and State High lost by a single stroke. The season was delayed at first due to the teachers' strike. As a result, the team struggled through their first match at the York Invitational and recorded their worst showing ever. After school opened and practices resumed, the team went on a roll until they lost the match with Hollidaysburg. The team had an impressive showing at the Central Pennsylvania Golf Association League Championship at Ironmasters Country Club. Brian Porta won medalist honors with a 2-over par 74. Kurt Tri-

marchi carded an 81, shooting an incredible 38 on the front side, and tied for fifth. When asked about the season, Porta responded, "I feel the team got off to a slow start because of the strike, but we did well in focusing after the strike was resolved. It took some work but we were able to perform in the end. It was a matter of developing our rhythm and habits."

State High will look forward to another strong year in 1989-90.

The team might be a little shallow after losing three seniors but will hopefully continue to dominate in the future as they have done in the past.

The State College girls' golf team had a short but successful season. Because of losing a week of practice and forfeiting their first match due to the

strike, the team appeared to be off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, the girls did not allow these factors to hinder their performance and remained undefeated throughout the rest of their regular season mate.hes.

The Little Lady Lions also won both invitationals sponsored by the State College Elk's Country Club, but the highlight of their season was obtaining the sectional and District VI title.

Although the team will suffer the loss of the tremendous play of senior Julie Kish , the outlook for next season is bright.

Next year's team will include returning juniors Sherry Kindlin, Heather Witherite, Lisa Guber, and Laura Wade.

Reaching New Heights After finishing with the records of 17-7 and 22-6 in the past two seasons under Head Coach Frank Guerra, this year's squad was looking forward to another promising season.

After reaching the quarterfinals of the PIAA State Playoffs last year, the team set similar goals for the 1988-89 season.

The team started off on the right foot by winning the first place trophy at the Williamsport tip-off tournament. Halfway through the month of January the girls remained undefeated in the Mid Alleghenies Conference, one of the most competitive leagues in the state, and also defeated the top ranked team in the Pittsburgh area during the State High Holiday Tournament. As a result, the girls entered USA Todays national rankings at the 21st spot and eventually reached the 17th position.

State High was no longer able to hold on to their ranking as their seventeen game winning streak ended with a devastating 13 point loss to Hollidaysburg. The team rebounded from their loss and finished the regular season with an impressive record of 23-1 and the MAC title.

Dribbling Up Court. After playing shooting guard during her sophomore year, senior Jen Kretchmar has learned to fulfill the ballhandling, passing, and playmaking responsibilities of a point guard during the past two seasons. Kretchmar will be joining teammate Tina Henry at Penn State next year.

Entering the District and State tournaments with an impressive regular season showing and the first seed in District VI, the Little Lady Lions appeared to be unstoppable. They rolled over Johnstown in the first District game and thereby advanced to the District final game seeking revenge against Hollidaysburg. Unfortunately, with the score tied and four seconds remaining in the game, Hollidaysburg was able to score a basket to walk away with a two point victory. State High tried to rebound from the loss as they entered their first game in the PIAA state playoffs, but were unable to defeat Penn Hills. The team finished with an impressive record of 24-3 but left behind them the goal of claiming a District title and a possible State championship.

Just Out of Reach Although the boys' basketball team ended the season unfulfilled with a record of 5-16, they could have just as easily wound up 1.3-8, having lost eight games by four points or less.

The State High boys' basketball team, like most scholastic sports teams, had high hopes at the beginning of their season. They focused their attention on advancing to district playoffs while attempting to enjoy the spirit of the game.

Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed as several games were decided within the last few seconds, often to their dismay. "Even though our record was only 5-14, we felt that our season was successful. Had it not been for the last-second decisions, we could have had a 13-6 record ," according to Denean Williams.

Despite the less than impressive record, the team matured as a wholespending hours practicing for important games, learning effective team strategies, and developing strong working relationships.

A Winning Trend Under Head Coach Galen McWilliams, the State College wrestling team started a new winning tradition. In his second year of coaching, Mcwilliams led the team to a third place finish in the very competitive Central Wrestling Conference.

In his second year as head coach of the wrestling team, Galen McWilliams improved on his team's losing 1987-1988 season by coaching it to a very respectable 13-5 season record .

Coach McWilliams was assisted by Mr. Tom Sallade, Mr. Jeff Zeiler, and Mr. Frank Garis. The tri-captains of the squad this year were seniors Bob Oakes and Aaron Songer and junior Rob Prebish.

Despite a grueling match schedule and several bouts with serious illness, the team persevered. In one week, for example, State had four meets: Lock Haven, Tyrone and the State College Triangular in which they were matched up against Erie Prep and West Branch. Amazingly, they

emerged unscathed at 4-0. Another factor affecting the team was the flu that afflicted many of the team members in late January and early February.

The wrestling team fared well not only in dual meet action, but also in tournament competition. State High placed first in their home Christmas Tournament, third at the Centre County Tournament, and a very respectable sixth in the Lower Dauphin Area Tournament. In addition to the team accomplishments, several State College wrestlers captured individual titles at these tournaments.

In February came the PIAA District VI Class AAA wrestling tournament. Sophomore John Bryan emerged as the

110-pound weight class champion. Prebish also fared well, placing third in the 119-pound weight class. Songer took a second place in the 130-pound class, and in the heavyweight division George Browning took a respectable third place.

These wrestlers earned the chance to advance to the PIAA Class AAA Northwestern Regional competition. Bryan came away once again as the champion in his weight class. Browning again placed third in the heavyweight division. Songer, affected by illness, did not perform as well as was hoped. Bryan and Browning advanced on to the statewide tournament where they competed well but lost in the preliminary rounds.

Making Waves The boys' and girls' swimming and diving teams continued their winning ways by earning 11-0 and 10-1 records, respectively, capturing their District VI team titles, and sending nineteen competitors to the PIAA State Championships.

With five seniors and several talented freshman , the boys' swimming and diving team knew it would surpass its 5-5 season of last year. It exceeded all expectations as it went undefeated and earned its eleventh straight District VI title.

The biggest dual meet of the year was definitely the surprise upset of a strong Cumberland Valley team. Dave McGeorge, senior co-captain Pepper Santalucia, senior Dan Carter, and David Keil led the team in the sprints. Keil, Santalucia, and McGeorge joined with longdistance swimmer Mitch Howell in the District record-breaking freestyle relay, which later placed seventh at States.

Senior Rob Marciniak was a contender in the butterfly and the 500 freestyle, as were Chris Mortensen and Dave Dunson in the breastroke and freestyle events, respectively. Senior Ben Farrell was a welcome a路ddition to the team, which has typically had few divers.

The girls' team, led by nine seniors, performed very well, losing only to Cumberland Valley. The team, which won its ninth District VI title, was led by senior co-captains Maxine Braune, a Jong-distance swim-

mer, and sprinter Charlotte Jeffreys. Senior Annie Marshall went undefeated in her events, the individual medley and the butterfly, eventually winning both at the District meet in Altoona. Returning diver Paula Mann and newcomer Betsy Landy Jed the diving team. Others seniors were freestylers Shelly Rayback, Tracy Spannuth, and Paula Witham; distance swimmer Mandy Briggs; and butterflyer Tracy Shaeffer. The medley relay team of Linda Fink, Meira Minard, Nancy Bassett, and Jeffreys won at Districts as did the freestyle relay team of Jeffreys, Braune, Marshall, and junior Kris Blankenhorn.

Defying Gravity Despite a rash of injuries and a lack of competitors, the four members of the State College girls' gymnastics team completed their season with a 3~5 team record.

For the few remaining gymnasts on the team, it was a definite change from last year's team, which was led by five seniors and had a 12-0 record.

This year's team members included Dana Toscano, Kassie Lysaker, Jen Bundy, and the lone senior, Jen Fulton.

Coached by Julee Lynch and Jen Sma l l, the girls went through a very tough season.

They picked up their first win at DuBois while only fielding two all-arounders. They also picked up wins over Bellefonte and Penns Valley. Even though the team's record was 3-5, the girls did well individually.

every meet. Kassie Lysaker captured many of the allaround titles, but when it was all finished and the scores were tabulated, the Little Lady Lions often came up short, due to the lack of one competitor. Going into Districts, the team hoped to field a full team, but injury forced Dana Toscano to sit out. Chances of moving on to States were slim. Although each girl performed up to her potential in the District meet, the three-woman team was unable to qualify for the State meet. Despite the team's record, the gymnasts were more than happy with their individual accomplishments.

Strong Contenders The ice hockey team, although without sufficient ice time or official school support, worked out its inconsistencies and ended its season as one of the top eight teams in the state.

The State College ice hockey team had a season of ups and downs, but fortunately peaked at the right moment and gave a strong showing in the state playoffs. The team completed their regular season with a record of 18-12-3 with the majority of these wins coming near the end of the season.

They reached the Western State Semi-Finals by defeating Erie Prep 3-2 and then demolishing North Allegheny 4-1.

With only eight teams remaining in Pennsylvania, they were well on their way to a state championship. Unfortunately, they were unable to beat Canavan, a team which was also coming on strong near the end of the season. Canavan came out on top by a score of 5-2 and abmbtly ended State's season.

While the state playoffs highlighted the team's season, they also fared well during their regular season tournaments.

They placed first in their own State College Invitational, second in the Bowie Tournament, and second in the Chester County Tournament. This tournament hosted some of the best teams in the state and proved to be good preparation for playoffs. State High was Jed by seniors J im Hollis (captain), Steve DeWalle, Brian Ladrido, Garrett Porterfield, and Jeff Farabella.

Swinging Away With nine lettermen returning from last year's squad, the State College baseball team had high expectations for the season.

With the guidance of coaches Ken Barto and Sherdell Snyder, tough defense and strong hitting, it hoped to improve its perfor~ mance at the league, district, and state levels.

Last season the State College Little Lion baseball team ended its season with a disappointing 5-4 loss in the District VI semi-finals. The squad was 15-7 overall, finishing in second place in the prestigious Central Penn League, a league which included powerhouses such as Bellefonte, Bald Eagle, and Clearfield. From that 1988 team there were nine lettermen returning to the squad . Bob Oakes, a first team all-star in 1987 joined Kody Barto, Dave Lingenfelter, and Matt Mc-

Because many of the returning players were fielders, the team hoped defense would be a strongpoint. Also, the players and coaches expected that there would be no lack of powerful hitters. But one question left open was that of pitching.

Last year's top two pitchers graduated, but Dan McClintic, Kevin Nelson, and Doug Leitzell, among others, were expected to fill in the gap.

Pitching For A Win After competing in the State playoffs the past several years, and nearly capturing the title in 1987, this year's softball team was looking to reach similar heights.

The girls' softball team struggled through the first bitterly cold days of spring practice in order to prepare for a season which would hopefully surpass last year's near perfect record of 2 I -4. Coach Barry Rossman said with a lot of hard work he expected to do better than last year. Graduating eight starters from the previous year, the I 989 team had to deal with the inexperience of younger players. First baseman and shortstop Mary Humphreys said, "It was difficult coming into this season with an exceptional record behind us, knowing that eight of our starters would be gone."

Before the season began, the players underwent two weeks of indoor tryouts while waiting for the snow to melt.

Continued Dominance Always one of State High's strongest teams, the track team continued its strong performances in both indoor and outdoor competition and was a statewide power once again.

Despite being hit hard by the flu, the girls' indoor track team had a satisfying season. The team was young but full of enthusiasm and determination.

Coach Steve Gentry set his expectations high, and the team made an exceptional effort to reach those goals. At the first meet of the season, the team posted ten State-qualifying performances. At the Tri-State Track Coaches Association meet in Pittsburgh, the girls captured the team title. Since there were only six seniors, it was decided that a senior committee would replace two cocaptains. The senior committee consisted of Lara Abernethy, Julie Lynott, Shana Miskovsky, Becky Robinson, Heather Rockey, and Roxanne Sokol.

The girls' outdoor track team was not pressured into becoming the traditional powerhouse team. Instead, the objective was to have fun. With the pressure off, the team expe-

rienced many fun and exciting moments. Despite the laidback attitude, it was never forgotten that the girls should beat arch-rival Altoona at the District meet. Many of them put in strong, tough performances which made the meet exciting and memorable.

Through the efforts of the senior committee and many of the other runners, the team matured and became a team worthy of the State College name.

The main goal of the boys' indoor track team was to get in shape for outdoor track. The team pushed itself through the first weeks of practice in December and ran well at the Dickinson Invitational, their first meet. At the Robert Morris Invitational, the 4x400 relay won easily with a 200 yard lead and the 4x800 relay soundly beat Beaver Falls.

Then came darkness as the lights went out during the boys' mile at the Slippery Rock Invi-

tational. At the State track meet, Ron Dickerson broke all his personal records, and he competed at the national level where he placed 2nd in the long jump.

The boys' outdoor track team, in great shape after the indoor season, did as well as they expected. The objective of the boys' team, according to the jumpers' coach Bob Baumbach, was, "to do better than they did last year at the State track meet." The boys re-acquainted themselves with competing on an outdoor track at the Pennsylvania Track Classic. Then the team competed at a variety of meets against a large field of opponents to prepare for the district meet in Altoona. Easily controlling the District meet, the team moved onto the State competition in Shippensburg. There they surpassed expectations through determination, confidence and competitiveness.

Serving Up Winners Under the leadership of head Coach Michael Shapiro, State High's boys' and girls' tennis teams continue their tradition of strong play in the Central Counties Tennis League.

The girls' varsity tennis team had another exciting season under the leadership of head Coach Michael Shapiro and assistant Coach Deb Povero mo. Although two away matches were cancelled due to the teachers' strike, the team still . managed to capture the central Counties Tennis League title with only one loss, a narrow defeat by Hollidaysburg. At the end of the season, senior captains Kim Kramer and Carolyn Pickering competed in the District VI singles tournament in Altoona. In the tournament, Pickering beat Mary Waibel after losing to her in the two league matches, enabling her to advance to the PIAA State tournament. Kramer teamed up with Adrienne Mason, also a captain, and competed in the District VJ doubles tournament. A sophomore doubles team of Suann

Dedication. Despite a broken leg, Michael Shapiro, coach of both the boys' and girls' varsity tennis teams, continued to work with the girls' squad, enabling them to post a 11- 1 record.

Surdick and Sarah W angsness also competed.

The boys' varsity team, coming off an uncharactertistic season last year, rebounded this year by dominating the Central Counties Tennis League with a team possessing new depth, leadership, and confidence. Last year's team composed mostly of juniors lacked experience in the singles line-up. But, this year's squad found strength in their senior singles team and showed potential greatness in many and junior and sophomore players.

Mark MacDonald and Marc Payne, last year's District IV doubles champions led the team as co-captains. Brent Grotch, Jeremy Hyslop, Matt Greskovich and Brad McCann played varsity singles, while Brian Feagans and Hossien Farahani made valuable contributions in doubles.

The seniors were Tracy Derzak, Missy Maloney, Gretchen Kirkpatrick, Tammy Lassman, Courtney Caswell, and co-captains Michelle Miller and Mary Rininger. The juniors were Karen Pagani, Melissa Vodzak, Shannon Walsh, Jen Schwartz, Shalane Gee, Amy Harpster, and Dave Jarosz, the first male cheerleader on the team.

at Work Just about everybody had something they were interested in. For some, tickling the ivories tickled their fancy; for others, the magic of math and fractals captured their attention; and still others could spend hours recreating a dramatic masterpiece. The many clubs and organizations that students could join provided a solid foundation for extra-curricular learning and fun, further adding to the building blocks of our personalities. Through various clubs and organizations, new friendships, a sense of teamwork, and feelings of pride were UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

Student Council, Junior Senate, Senior Senate

No one could have complained about their performances this year as Student Council, Junior Senate, and Senior Senate boosted not only their funds but also, more importantly, school morale.

They accomplished all this and even some community service on the side.

Student Council began the year by arranging Spirit Week with the theme of "The Magic of Movies" and by organizing a successful Homecoming Parade and Dance. Student Council also promoted the Great American Smoke-Out and sponsored the installation of soda machines. The new year began productively, too, as the group worked towards the construction of picnic tables for use during lunch periods in the courtyards, a privilege the Senior Senate also worked to attain. Finally, the Student Council organized the Spring Blood Drive to help the community's local blood bank.

The Senior and Junior Senates definitely helped the Student Council collect enthusiasm and lift school spirit. The Senior Senate opened the school year with some excitement as they held a Back-to-School Fiesta. Each Senate also contributed a float to the Homecoming Parade, and the Senior Senate won first place for their re-creation of "The Wizard of Oz." Both Senates then worked in competition with each other for Powderpuff ticket sales (the Senior Senate won) and to gain crowd support at the game. Spring was a busy time too, with the annual Dance Marathon, set up by the Senior Senate to benefit Cerebral Palsy. As Senior Senate co-Vice-President Charlotte Jeffreys commented, just "to say 'thanks' to the teachers for . all they've done," the Senior Senate distributed apples, pencils, and special cards to teachers on Teachers' Appreciation Day. To fund the Junior Prom, the Junior Senate sold candy to the student body. The Senior Senate also managed to raise enough funds and arranged the traditional Senior Dinner Dance/ All Night Party and the Senior Slide Show at the End-of-the-Year Assembly.

Brainstorming. Although officers were not elected until the start of the school year, the Junior Senate still managed to pull together a busy schedule. Mem-

bers of the Junior Senate put their heads together during an AREA period contemplating on possible ways of fundraising for the Junior Prom.

Center of Attention. Members of the Student Council crowd around and focus on Student Council President Rich Bundy in the school cafeteria as he discusses plans for the addition of the soda machine and a student lounge.

Beaming with Enthusiasm. Despite the rainy weather, Junior Senate "Greasers" demonstrate their spir it at the Homecoming Parade. Their float also gave them reason to smile later, when it won third place in the ~ompctition.

No One Would Have Guessed. With the help of Student Council members Dave Evans and Kris Eisenbraun, this 路barren platform eventually became a masterful work of art depicting the past Wild West days of the United States.

The Finishing Touches. On the afternoon before the Homecoming Parade, Ernest Yeh and Bill Moser are busy adding the final touches to the Student Council Homecoming float entitled "Wild Wild West." Unfortunately, despite all their hard work, the "saloon" did not last the evening.

Marching Band

WOW! Following a season of hard work and dedication, rank leader Larry Berg is surprised at the gift his rank presented to him. Such gifts were given as a reminder of the fun Marching Band brought to the senior year.

As They March to the Beat of a Different Drummer From the heart-wrenching "I Dreamed a Dream" to the swinging tune of"Mony Mony," the State High Marching Band could catch the ear of any listener. The band posted yet another year of sensational music and well-timed routines. Beginning practices in August, the Marching Band contributed many hours to perfecting its shows. For many, the band provided not only a chance to perfect their music skills, but it gave the musicians a chance to meet new people and to bond friendships. As clarinetist Myja Stuart stated, "Marching Band was a wonderful place to meet people." It was special to yet another band member, Janice Knaub. She felt that, "Because we had to tolerate the frigid cold and stifling heat together, a greater sense of unity was created within the Marching Band." Once band buddies were made, only good times could follow. At the end of the season, ranks showed their appreciation by getting something nostalgic for their rank leaders. Rank leader Larry Berg will always be reminded of the good times and friendships had by the T-shirt his rank presented to him which read, " Rank B Loves Me." Directors Mr. Richard Victor and Mr. John Kovalchik headed the more than 150-member organization, aided by Drum Major Brenda Keirn, Band President Greg Hargrove, Senior Representative Brian Rider, Junior Representatives Charla Ranney and Jen Chaplin, Sophomore Representative Bob Kilareski, and appointed rank leaders. Through performances at the State High football games, various parades, and its annual indoor concert, the State High Marching Band again maintained its reputation of high quality music and intense school spirit.

Majorettes, Silks, Indoor Guard

Under the direction of Mrs. Lois Rider, the Majorettes had a very busy, fun-filled season. Performing at 路all qome football games and various parades kept the Majorettes active. Practices, starting in late July and continuing for many hours up to November, gave the girls time to learn several routines used during the half-time shows. This past season, the Majorettes were featured in a variety of numbers, including "Emmanuel" and "Proud Mary." A lively Russian dance was seen during their routine for "Moscow Nights." Their performance had a Dixieland flavor as they shared the spotlight with featured musicians in "Sweet Georgia Brown." The Majorettes look forward to continuing their success and fun in the upcoming season.

Along with the Majorettes, the Silks practiced through the sweltering heat of August to perfect several routines used during the home football games. Most of the people who tried out for the team did not expect the practices to be so difficult and demanding. Nor did they expect the weather to be so hot. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the squad practiced with the band to achieve perfection. The most difficult element of practice was the synchronization of movements to the music provided by the Marching Band. Although the practices entailed much hard work, the Silk's squad was rewarded through the friendships gained and the memories of post-game social activities.

The Indoor Guard, or Lavender, had a long but rewarding winter and spring. The team put in many hours of hard work because, according to Nell Herrmann; "Everything had to be perfect." Competition started in February and lasted every Saturday until April. Competitions were held in both Pennsylvania and Maryland. Their time and determination resulted in the team getting second place at East Pennsborough and third place at Wilkensburg. Their biggest event was the Keystone Indoor Drill Association in which Redland was their only big opposition.

Immersed Into an Intense Concentration. Members of the Silks squad, Tina Wills and Krista Sweetland, perform for the student body during the fall

Homecoming pep rally. Known for their creativity and precision, the Silks provided half-time entertainment for the crowds at all home football games.

Twirling with Precision. At one of the Indoor Guard's recent competitions at the Bellefonte High School, members of this organization perform their routine with the utmost perfection.

Warming Up. As with all ath letic endeavors, stretching is important in preparing for pract ice. Junior Amy Van Horn demonstrates this before one of the guards' many demanding practices.

Ready for Take Off. Senior Tina Wills demonstrates the opening move with perfect stillness. Performing routines required accuracy. As a result of such exactness, the Indoor Guard placed in many of their competitions.

Painting Faces. In addition to precision within a performance, the costumes are orten important. One of the instructor's prepares Kim Becker for a competition by painting her face.

Orchestra, Concert Band, Symphonic Band

Sweet Sounds An Ensemble of Talent. ..

While strolling down the music wing halls during any first or second period, sounds of sweet instrumental music could be heard. The Symphonic Band and Concert Band, under the direction of Mr. Richard Victor prepared two concerts full of extraordinary music. The music varied from the upbeat music of "The Phantom of the Opera" to the traditional closing number of "Stars and Stripes Forever." Unlike the Concert Band, which was open to any student interested in performing instrumental band music, Symphonic Band was a fifty member organization composed of many talented young musicians. From February 811 selected students participated in the District IV Band Festival held at West Branch Area High School. In addition to this, three students were chosen to take part in the 1989 All-Eastern Music Festival held in Boston, Massachusetts. These students were: flutist Damienne Fenlon, clarinetist Myja Stuart, and trumpet player Mike Power.

Many changes took place this year in the State High Orchestra as Mrs. Diane Howard took over the directorship for the late Mr. Wilbert Hartman. Although there were many apparent changes, the Orchestra continued its tradition of excellence. Their repertoire this year included such diversity of music as "Peter and the Wolf' and "Sophisticated Ladies." Orchestra President Sally Kim lead the student group to strive to better the orchestra as a whole. Five members achieved first chair placements in the District IV Orchestra Festival at Somerset Area High School. In addition to this accomplishment, violinist Sally Kim was chosen to be a member of the 1989 All-Eastern Orchestra Festival. Mrs. Howard also initiated the movement towards a more select orchestral group entitled The String Arts Ensemble. This ten member group met every Monday night to play repertoire with a greater level of difficulty.

At the end of another spectacular year, both the Symphonic Band and the Orchestra travelled to an annual adjudication which was held in Philadelphia, PA. The instrumental groups, in accordance with tradition, lived up to its reputation of being among the top groups at the festival.

What? No Stand By Me? String bass sections are well-known for their rendition of the once popular tune from the hit movie "Stand By Me." However this string bass section composed of

Carrie Bassett, Mau Kennedy, A.J. Nauda, and Gusty Colangelo diverts their attention from this piece to the more serious piece at hand.

Behind them, fellow members provide a background of vocal music.

The Stage Band and Twentones jazzed their way into another year of high class entertainment. Under the new direction of Mrs. Cathy Steele, the Twentones, an elite show-choir composed of twenty students, began the new year with many changes. In comparison to a traditional one day a week practice, this year's group practiced twice a week in the fall which allowed them to perform a spectacular winter show. Decked out in outfits of red -and white, Twentones performed routines to music such as the Manhatten Transfer "Tuxedo Junction" and another jazzy tune "Swinging With the Saints." On the other side of the musical spectrum, the group performed several concert pieces consisting of such traditional Christmas songs as "Furn Furn Furn" and "The Christmas Waltz." In the spring, the Twentones again worked hard to put on a spectacular spring concert. To top off its year, the group took a trip to an adjudication where they placed well among the many other show choirs.

On the other side of musical sound, an exceptional instrumental jazz group, the Stage Band, excelled under the direction of Mr. Richard Victor. Boasting three of last year's All-State musicians, the Stage Band officially kicked off its year in November.

Composed of tewnty-seven members, the instruments consisted of a tuba, trombones, trumpets, saxophones, bass guitars, keyboard instruments, and percussion instruments. Its repetoire consisted of such pieces as the "Brass Machine," which featured senior trumpet player Mike Power and freshman trumpet player Chis Rider, "Chordon Blew," and "A Time for Love." Beginning its performances as the pep band for the basketball games, the Stage Band then jazzed its way to the annual State College Senior High Stage Band Festival on Saturday, April 1, and then on to a performance at the Boalsburg Memorial Day festivities. As always, the Stage Band lived up to a State High musical tradition of excellence, and as always, created new fascinating medleys considered innovative in the field of music.

Break a Leg. In the anxious moments before performance time at District IV Chorus, Brenda Keirn offers encouraging advice to a fellow choir member from another school in the district. Interscholastic music festivals allowed students to meet new people with similar interests and ca reer goals.

Creating Harmonious Strains Of Melodies Both choirs were again under construction as a new director was appointed for the second successive year. Under the direction of Mrs. Cathy Steele, the Concert Choir and the Choraliers sang their way into another entertaining year of vocal harmonization.

The Choraliers was composed of those senior high students who enjoyed singing but either did not wish to audition for Concert Choir or could not fit Concert Choir into their schedules. Working hard towards their portion of the winter concert, the Choraliers performed a variety of vocal repertorie including the soothing melody of "Amazing Grace," accompanied by quitarist Shelly Rayback, and the forceful music of "Power and Glory." Choralier officers were President Kristin McCormick and Secretary Sarah Slocumb. Under the combination of their leadership, sweet melodies flourished in the music wing.

With the help of President Suzanne Tershak, Vice-President Damienne Fenlon, and Secretary Olivia Bord, the Concert Choir worked to create a successful choral year. Nine Concert Choir members Brenda Keirn, Olivia Bord, Jill Lybarger, Chandra Woolverton, Suzanne Tershak, Jen Long, Dan Marshall, Mike Rider, and Mike Seibel advanced to Regional Chorus. At Regionals, first chair Soprano II Olivia Bord and second chair Alto I Suzanne Tershak advanced to All-State Chorus. In addition to this, senior Olivia Bord was chosen to participate in the 1989 All-Eastern Chorus Festival. In November, the choir was chosen to participate in a Christmas television program. Upon arrival of the December Concert, the Concert Choir was able to again present their talent through the exhibition of such music as Handel's "Hallelujiah Amen." In the Spring, the choir performed Mozart's "Regina Coeli" and Brahms' "Blessed They."

During a dress rehearsal for the fall Thespian production, Black Comedy, senior Steve Bressler threatens sophomore Jack Gooch, who starred as Brindley, with a menacing candle. Although the lights were on during the play for the audience to see the action, the characters carried candles and flashlights ~s if there were no electricity.

Thespians, Stage Crew

Under the direction of the newly appointed advisors Mrs MaryAnn Myers and Mrs. Ruth Yeaton, the Thespians con· structed a year of high quality entertainment for the students o: State High as well as for the surrounding community. This year': performances consisted of two productions. These were the fa! play, Black Comedy and the spring musical, Lil' Abner. Bott allowed many students to express themselves in ways not usuall) presented in everyday life. Black Comedy told of a meetini between a girl's fiancee and her parents. Suddenly, as they en· tered the stage, the lights went out, and the rest of the play too~ place as if the characters were in the dark. Lil' Abner, the sprin! musical is based on Al Capp's famous comic strip and told abou· the people of an imaginary hillbilly town, Dogpatch. The pla) opened with a decision by the government that Dogpatch was th< most unnecessary town in the United States. It was selected as~ nuclear testing site. The play continued as Lil' Abner tried to turr the tables on Washington in order to save Dogtown, U.S.A. While the Thespians were busy preparing their lines and re· hearsing their moves, the Stage Crew added the finishing touche: to the Thespian productions. The Stage Crew spent their timt insuring correct lighting, opening and closing curtains, and setting up props. Besides providing these service for the Thespians the Stage Crew worked for various assemblies and other schoo and community events held in the high school auditorium.

Through both of their productions these two groups workec towards a common purpose of improving drama on a high schoo level. This purpose was summed up by Thespian President Kir· sten Kowalski. "With the new advisors and a dedicated executiv( committee, I think that we are on the pathway to turning Thespi· ans into one of the most successful programs at State High."

When Someone You've Never Met Before Suddenly Gives You Flowers???

During a dress rehearsal, Jack Gooch wonders in suprise if it is his cologne that makes him so irresistible. Much to his disappointment these flowers were just another stage prop for the fall Thespian production of Black Comedy in which he starred as Brindsley.

Making a Statement. Even without a clear line of sight, SADD members somehow manage to avoid colliding with others as they carry a banner as part of their campaign against driving under the influence. SADD groups all across the nation promote the motto, "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk."

Absorbed in the Discussion. During a group meeting, club member Kim Robb listens attentively to a discussion on the next Key Club project and on the good results of the last bake sale.

Taking a Stand. Molly Pomeroy, president of Students Against Driving Drunk, demonstrates her leadership ability as she holds club members in rapt attention. Over the course of the year, SADD planned numerous activi ties in order to increase student awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving.

ASTRA, Key Club, SADD

"Now, Everyone Listen!" Heads turn , and all eyes focus on Molly Pomeroy and adviser Mrs. Cheryl Speakman as they call the first organizational meeting of SADD to a start. This is actually not a new experience for Mrs. Speakman, as she organized the first State College SADD chapter in 1981.

Making The Community A Better Place To Be Members of ASTRA had terrific opportunities this year to enjoy themselves and to develop a greater sense of accomplishment. With the help of adviser Mrs. Sharon Pearson, club members performed a variety of services for others. In the fall, ASTRA members served as parent guides during Back-to-School Night. They also raised enough money through bake sales to take some special young friends to the Nutcracker Ballet in December. For the holiday season, members trimmed the school office Christmas tree with handmade decorations and had tea with Altrusa, ASTRA's sponsoring organization. The club later aided the American Lung Association and the American Heart Association in such activities as the Christmas seals campaign at the Nittany Mall and the Valentine's Day carnation sale.

Key Club and Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) also went out of their way to help others. Since Key Club was sponsored by the national Kiwanis Club, Key Club members often attended local Kiwanis meetings. Club members also painted children's faces and handed out balloons at the Penn State International Festival in February. Fundraising was high on Key Club's agenda, too. Through bake sales and candy sales, the club earned enough money to attend the Key Club District Conference in Pittsburgh, and they journeyed to the University of Wisconsin for a World Affairs Seminar in June. While SADD did not travel across the nation like Key Club, the group did take a few trips across the state. They attended the SADD chapter's county meetings once a month at various schools, and there was a regional conference at Elk's Country Club in October. At these meetings, members discussed possible methods of achieving student awareness regarding the dangers of driving under the influence and the importance of friends looking out for friends. Under the leadership of adviser Mrs. Cheryl Speakman and student president Molly Pomeroy, the club enacted a number of these planned campaigns. One of the most successful and thought provoking was the symbolic "Whiteout Day." Later in the year SADD also organized a Spring Drive, a week of ongoing activities which were also very effective in increasing student awareness.

That's the Key! Jen Geesey introduces a great idea regarding Key Club's ca n路 dy sales while adviser Ms. Mary Shull and club members Amy Conner and Nell Herrmann listen attentively.

Throughout the year, Key Club was very active volunteering at such activities as Penn State's International Festi路 val.

Although they may not have been the best-known groups in the Senior High, the Office Aides, and the Peer Listeners were certainly important to the whole school community. Their help was essential in avoiding and dealing with the confusion and chaos that life brought day-by-day throughout the year.

Office Aides ensured that everything ran smoothly for the office staff as they filed papers, stuffed teacher mailboxes, delivered notes to students, and performed other errands that needed to be done. And being an Office Aide not only helped the staff, but it also was rewarding for the individual. As senior Debbie Lupp commented, "Being an Office Aide can be very rewarding because you develop good relationships with the principals and the rest of the staff, and it relieves the monotony of school for a period or two."

Peer Listeners also took time out to help at the Peer Counseling Center, located across the hall from the Senior High counseling office. Peer Counselors were trained extensively through an innovative workshop given by the guidance staff, through a folder of literature which was compiled by the counselors, and at statewide conferences that were held at various times throughout the year. Within training, they were informed about agencies in the community available to students and how to provide the students contacts to them. Additionally, they were taught communications, listening, and interpreting skills. With these skills, the Peer Listeners aided a number of students who were searching for support, information, or just someone to talk to about their problems and life in general. The Peer Counseling Program also oriented new students to the school by showing them around and answering whatever questions they bad as they adjusted to their new school environment.

Okay, Let's Hear It. At a group meeting in the sewing room, Jen Chaplin, Beth !shier, Beth Hughes, and Chip Kogelmann wait anxiously for Bill Moser's insight. The group discusses the possibility of purchasing a stuffed bean bag to make the Peer Listening Center a more relaxed atmosphere.

Paving The Way For Future Students Three groups that worked towards the betterment of relations between the student body and the surrounding community, both in and out of school, were the Student Advisory Committee (S.A.C.), the Principal's Advisory Committee (P.A.C.), and the African-American Student Association.

The Student Advisory Committee was composed of twenty-one members and two advisers. Its main purpose was to advise the School Board on issues pertaining to the student body. SAC representatives, chosen from all four high school classes, represented the diverse student body; various interest groups included academics, Yo-Tech, athletics, art and theatre, Vo-Agriculture, home economics, and business. Over the last few years, SAC conducted surveys on the drug-alcohol problems within the district, and possible improvements on the guidance and counseling systems. This year, the members of SAC continued to follow up on both projects. The Student Advisory Committee was also involved in the Faculty-Scholar Program, which recognized academic achievement of seniors.

Working on the other side of the spectrum to aid students, the members of the Principal's Advisory Committee worked with the administration to better the relationships between the student body and the principals. Approximately ten juniors and seniors, along with a variety of parents and teachers, met once a month to address problems concerning questions about proper guidance, the upcoming sports complex, and racial tensions. These issues were discussed during sessions held in the evening or during sixth period. Those involved in this program felt that meeting with Mr. Lewis Rodrick allowed better relations to surface between the administration and students. Because of the organization, members saw the principal as a person they could easily relate to and therefore could tell them their concerns.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Audra Moore, The AfricanAmerican Student Association was formed in order to aid minority students. The regular meetings offered a chance for various minority students to congregate and socialize, resulting in the formation of lasting relationships. Together they learned more about themselves and the diverse environment they live in. They conferred during AREA periods and on alternate Saturdays at the Paul Robeson Cultural Center. Junior Marcella Nixon stated, "I think that all minority students should get involved . Because the minority population at State High is not very large, the organization promotes unity and makes these students feel more at home. "

Briefing Them on the Year to Come.

Advisor Mr. Timothy Glick informs the chosen OAS delegates on what preparation and work must go into their appointed country before they present their case in Washington.

OAS, Model Legislature

For those who liked politics, The Organization of American States, otherwise known as OAS, and former Model Legislature group now known to its members as Youth and Government provided a taste of what might lie ahead for the future politicians.

The words "Delegates Come to Order!" began the seventh Model Organization of American States held each year in the actual OAS building in Washington, D.C. The model affords students the opportunity to learn about Western Hemisphere politics and parlimentary procedure. The pervading atmosphere during the committee sessions was one of seriousness and authenticity. The dedication of each member of the delegations made the model a successful and rewarding experience for those who attended it. This year's delegation represented the island nation of Grenada. The delegation under the leadership of advisor M r.

Timothy Glick had the opportunity to speak with representatives from the permanent mission to the OAS and to get an inside look at the nation's foreign policies.

Youth and Government took a look at political problems within the United States. Although the organization retained only two previous members, this group got off to a great start with an officers training session at Wilson College. President Ernest Yeh quoted, "Even though our club is almost entirely made of first year members, they were willing to contribute to a great year."

The first state-wide meeting was held in Hollidaysburg. Here Robin Fetters who was eventually able to fulfill her position as committee chair, was made an alternate for this particular session. In February this young group travelled across the state to Butler for another Mock Session. The Model Legislature Convention, sponsored by the State YMCA, was the culmination of an entire year's work. Besides the opportunity to debate issues important to the state, such as the 65 mph speed limit and the use of plastic handguns, Youth and Government gave future politicians a chance to exhibit their skills.

Discussing a Little Politics. OAS del· egates take notes and discuss with each other how they might go about re· searching each of their specific topics on their assigned island nation Grenada while Debbie Lima and Kristin As· bury secretly plan their wardrobe for the upcoming trip.

"Listen Up, Kids!" Mrs. Julie Gittings, anoiher adviser for Knowldege Masters. quizzes club members on a variety of topics and hopes she has prepared them well for the real competition, which is held via a computer.

"I'm Sure I Learned That Somewhere." "Trust us. we're thinking" promise Chris Stone and Ben Craighead, two intrepid Knowledge Master members, intent on pursuing the elusive but much -desired answer during a practice session.

"It's in Here Somewhere!" In a mock debate, Gabi Haas frantically searches through her notes as she realizes that her Debate Team opponents have suddenly backed her team into a corner.

Caught in Action. While in ihe process of researching his team 's resolution, Bill Moser pauses in order to listen to Debate Team adviser Mrs. Jean Shirey as she explains the general format of the club's next mock debate.

Debate Team, Knowledge Masters, Odyssey of the Mind

Brain Teasers ...

Exercising The Mind What was the forty-third state admitted to the Union? Upon being posed with this question, most students would have just shrugged and asked a second question in reply; "Who knows?"

On the other hand, this is just the type of mind boggier that Knowledge Masters members both preferred and expected over the year. A competitive club focusing on mental quickness and acuity, Knowledge Masters was supervised by Mrs. Carol Gentry and later in the year by Mrs. Julie Gittings. Club meetings usually consisted of mental exercises, whereby the superviser drilled the members with practice questions of all kinds. Beth Jones, an active participant, voiced her opinion of the situation, commenting, "We work hard, but we also have a lot of fun!" All this effort was certainly worthwhile. Club members put their new found knowledge to good use as they participated in national competitions throughout the year. Such tests scored on both accuracy and speed, and they were usually computer run within the school. Obviously, the Knowledge Masters members' work paid off, for our school was ranked seventh in the state.

The Debate Team also utilized their mental abilities. The club, part of a national organization of debate teams entitled the National Forensic League, gathered every week in the school library. Usually a meeting consisted of a mock debate between teams of club members. Students did not simply argue over random topics, but instead resolutions were developed. These were mainly comprised of addressing a problem at hand and presenting a proposed solution. For instance, some of the year's debates presented the issues of capital punishment, the Japanese foreign trade policy, and United States involvement in Nicaragua. Following each of these, Mrs. Jean Shirey, the club adviser, gave constructive criticism to the participants as well as announcing the winning team. These debates served as practice for the year's major topic, "Resolved: That the federal government should guarantee long-term health care for United States citizens over age sixty-five." During the spring, the Debate Team carefully analyzed this resolution, and they debated it at tournaments between competing high schools as well as demonstrating a mock debate at Penn State University.

Chemistry Club, Math Club

The Pennsylvania Math League, the American High School Math Exam, and the Mu Alpha Theta Exam were just a few of the tests associated with the Math Club. But that was not all they did this year. Rather than just learning new formulae, they enjoyed the chance to see the practical applications of mathematics.

Various speakers were invited and even a few visits to Penn State were made in order for the club members to get a feel for college mathematics. By the end of the year, the Math Club had examined numerous topics, including mathematics in art, computer fractals, hexaflexagons, and the subject of mathematical trees (graphs) as methods of attaining inexpensive shipping routes.

Such lectures were very informative and interesting to most members, and even those who sometimes did not enthusiastically absorb the information still found the Math Club enjoyable. Club member Adrienne Mason said of the mathematical trees speech, "Even though the lecture wasn't on one of the most stimulating topics, we went out for pizza afterwards, and that was pretty fun."

Chemistry Club was another academic club which gave students a chance to apply what they learned in class to fields they may pursue as careers in the future. As well as featuring guest speakers, this year the Chemistry Club took a trip to Clarion University for the Science Olympiad, an event which attracted students from all areas of Pennsylvania. Club members took a few tests there, but they mainly engaged in useful projects, such as bridge building and acid base titration. Even an egg drop competition was held, where eggs were initially dropped twohundred feet in containers which the club members built. The team whose container kept the egg intact from the greatest height won. "There were a lot of ingenious designs there, but ours did OK," commented Ernest Yeh on his team's effort.

Teacher for an Hou r. At a regular Math Club meeting, Susan Goldstine stands at the head of the class as she explains the complexities of the hexahexaflexagon, a cross between the "cootie catcher" and the Rubik's Cube.

"This Kool Aid Solution Isn't Bad!" Balancing chemical equations and exploring such topics as acid-base titration are obviously not the only aspects of Chemistry Club that Xiong Sun, the club's newsletter editor, enjoys.

Learning A New Tongue ...

A Variety Of Expressions Since the language clubs could not visit their mother countries, they brought the countries to America. Consisting of anyone who wanted to gain a better understanding of the French, Russian, Spanish, ancient Latin, and German cultures, these clubs packed the school year full of various activities.

Presenting viewers a look at the French world, the French Club exhibited a cultural display at the Atherton Hilton Hotel. Club members also got the opportunity to practice their language skills while conversing at various parties and watching several French movies.

The Russian Club was also quite busy, participating in the Slavic Festival and the Language Day at Penn State University. They also held a Russian dinner complete with a variety of activities including a slide presentation of the Soviet Union and an audience-participation performance by the Penn State International Dancers.

A lot of Los Yiajeros activity was centered on food, as the Spanish Club not only held a Guacamole Party, but also sampled Spanish cooking at two local eateries, La Bamba and the Penn State Maple Room. Of course, food was not the only item on the Spanish Club agenda. Los Yiajeros also watched numerous Spanish movies and visited some Spanish classes at Penn State.

The Latin Club revived the ancient times as they researched and celebrated various Roman festivals throughout the year.

The club also organized a Latin Banquet and even held a mural painting competition.

The German Club, like the rest of the crowd, saw various films and had occasional parties. The German Club's main repertoire, though, consisted of traveling.

While each of the groups represented and involved separate cultures, the language clubs all had one thing in common: They did not just limit their activities to the State College vicinity. All of the language clubs except the Russian Club went to New York to tour the Metropolitan Museum of Art. All except the French Club also journeyed to Washington, D.C., visiting various embassies and other international locales.

Under the leadership of Mr. Robert Placky, the Fine Arts Club got off to a great start this year. Living up to its creative reputation, the Art Club, using the movie camera as its theme, placed well among the other various homecoming floats. The groups' next project was preparing for the second annual Bigger Band Thing. Having the Brown-Eyed Handsome Men as their headline band, the Bigger Band Thing went off well attracting many students. Meeting twice a month, once a month during evenings and once a month during areas, the Fine Arts Club worked towards raising money for a trip to New York in the spring. Its many fund raising projects included various bake sales, printing Christmas bags for the Junior Woman's Club Auction, and decorating Gatsby's for the Valentine's Day Auction. All in all, the Fine Arts Club culminated in a very productive year due to the hard work and dedication of its many members.

Formerly A.I.AS.A, The Technology Student Association TSA was composed of a group of students dedicated to learning about and employing today's technology to solve real world problems. The members of this organization were able to put its abilities to the test through regional, state, and national competitions. This past summer the club defended its title for the third successive year as the number one team in the nation. Sophomore Jeff Engle and senior Rich Bundy placed first in their respective categories. As advisor Mr. Pat Vernon stated, "Our chapter is composed of great kids who want to make things .happen. TSA competitive events have motivated our students. This is one of the few areas in secondary school where the students can actually apply what they have learned in other classes." Due to the success of this organization rewarded through software, two new areas of study will be able to be offered at the high school. These classes are Desktop Publishing and Video Media Technology. Due to the devotion of the students, T.S.A has become a successful organization.

During the holiday season, members of the club designed and made festive pine cone wreaths. President Nancy Starr felt "Home Ee Club has been a fun part of my senior year and taught me practical skills I can use in the future."

Likewise, FBLA offered students a chance to apply practical business skills learned in the classrooms. Led by Mrs. Upcraft, president Heather Williams, secretary Robin Wyland, and treasurer Brian Hockenberry, the members participated in numerous statewide competitions. In the Regional Spring Leadership competition, hosted by State College, the group placed first in the following categories: Accounting I and II, Business English, Computer Applications, and Computer Concepts. They also placed second in Public Speaking, third in Office Procedures, fourth in Introduction to Business, and Jackie Fornal took second in the Ms. FBLA competition. As a result of these efforts, Trish Burdi, Heather Corrigan, Chris Davis, Matt Davis, Brian Hockenberry, and Heather Williams attended States in April. In addition to this competition, the FBLA attended the Seven Springs competition and made posters for fundraising. The students ended the successful year with a banquet.

Everyday after school, student trainers met to earn respect, get medical training experience, and meet people. Under the guidance of Mr. Jim Roslevich, they learned to watch for potential problems in athletes and to treat the injuries when necessary.

According to trainer Kim Wyland, seeing students forced to quit their sport was the only depressing part of the job. Trainers advanced in studies by passing skill level tests. These tests were difficult but insured competent trainers.

One of the most successful programs at State High was Intramural Sports. Because the competition stayed within the school, it provided students with a chance to develop their skills in a relaxed atmosphere. The program offered activities including volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse. IM Volleyball had such an overwhelming response that organizers Mr. John Hopkins, Mrs. Donna MacPherson, and Mr. Tod MacPherson split the teams into two separate "maroon" and "grey" leagues. Games were held Monday through Thursday evenings. Regulation fifteen point/fifteen minute games were officiated by Mr. Honedale and various college students. The rules required that at least two males and two females were on the court or the games had to be forfeited. Because forfeits were common, "pick-up" games were often started. The champions of each division played each other at the end of the season late in April.

IM Basketball was another favorite among students. Teams ranged from casual groups of friends to ones that were seriously selected. The end of the season championship game was a well attended AREA event. This year's battle between the Divorcf Court and the Supreme Court was won by Divorce Court.

IM Lacrosse has been in existence for five years and had between fifty and sixty participants. Coached by Mr Timoth)' Glick, practices included demonstrations, skill work, and scrimmages. The climax of the season was the annual alumni vs. seniors game.

Vocational Activities .. .

Hands On Experience The Future Farmers of America filled their calendars this year as they were involved in numerous activities of agricultural relevance. Just one of the many FF A chapters in Pennsylvania, the club was both a social organization and an educational experience. Members received the opportunity to visit The Pennsylvania State University Creamery as they studied the logistics of dairy operations. The club also took a couple of field trips to the Lancaster area. First, some FF A members participated in a square dancing competition where the teams received first and third place ribbons. O n this trip, club members a lso visited Hershey Chocolate World, the Atlantic Breeding Cooperative, and Em-Tram Incorporated, which dealt with embryo transplants.

Future Farmers of America traveled again to Lancaster later in the year for dairy and beef judging in Harrisburg. The club ended the year with a good showing in the FFA chapter's spring contests, which included Farm Mechanics, Farm Management, Dairy Foods, Tractor Driving, and Sma ll Gas Engines competitions.

The Vo-Tech Club, a medium through which Tech students of various classes congregated, also provided educational activity in a more social atmosphere. The club, which consisted of more than one-hundred members, scheduled several field trips to enhance the students' cultural experiences. Led by president Susie Houck, vice-president Toni Baylets, secretary Sheila Williams, and treasurer Marcy Kholos, the Vo-Tech Club visited such famous destinations as Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. junior representatives Sabrina Waltz and Rick Myers, along with sophomore and junior classes, a lso had the opportunity to visit Mr. Ron Pifer's farm in order to acquaint themselves with the school administration. The senior class members were active, too, enjoying the Senior Recognition Picnic at Bald Eagle State Park. As Michelle Grove so precisely stated, "Vo-Tech Club allows Tech students to feel more like part of a group."

On the Job. Ardently absorbing the suggestions of Paging Youth adviser Mrs. Ethel Leach, staff writers Beth !shier and Lisa Guber immediately set to work to finish their articles before the AREA period comes to a close.

Acclirity, Paging Youth

Upon opening the Monday edition of the Centre Daily Times to the local section, one might have noticed that a page was dedicated to certain high school journalists, dubbed Paging Youth Staff Writers. At State High, the handful of members worked each month to produce a few columns of copy, covering any news-worthy event, individual, or organization within the school. Under the guidance of Mrs. Ethel Leach, the newlyappointed adviser, the club gathered every AREA period to pull article ideas from the flurry of activity found via the daily announcements, office mail, and word of mouth. These assignments were then distributed among club members for each staff individual to research and write upon his assigned topic. Through the experience of writing for the CDT, the members of Paging Youth learned the technique and objectives of journalism; the main emphasis of this organization, however, was the exposition of the school to the public. And like Paging Youth editor Ed Lee, the writers experienced a vicarious pleasure in their work, as well as the satisfaction from a job well done.

Writers who had their work published in Acclivity also had good reason to be satisfied with their accomplishments. Acclivity, the school literary magazine which was published once a year, consisted solely of student work. Before such work was incorporated into the final product, the Acclivity Staff ceremoniously and scrutinously judged all submissions. Literary editors Sandro Weiss and Laura Secor and art editors Jayne Riew and Vickie Johnson organized this year's fifteen person staff. Acclivity members read and evaluated each of the submissions three times before grading them on a scale of one to five (five being the highest) and accepting the best works of journalism and art. To ensure that all staff judged the submissions equally, the editors organized four writing workshops outlining the main criteria of acceptable Acclivity material.

"What Are They Really Trying to Say?" During a Wednesday afternoon workshop, Acclivity member Vickie Johnson and editor Sandro Weiss analyze works of various authors to practice rating literature for quality and depth.

Keeping a Sense of Humor. Editor Sandro Weiss and c lub adviser Mrs. Callie Kingsbury have a good laugh together over a humorous anecdote which was recently submitted to Acclivity.

The Finished Product. Pleased with their performance, Paging Youth staff members Lisa Guber and Beth !shier examine their contributions to the newly published Paging Youth section in the Centre Daily Times newspaper.

A Joint Effort. Amy Lillian and Lisa Guber look on while Mandy Briggs and Tracey Jackson delve for and sift through ideas of possible article topics for February's Paging Youth section of the Centre Daily Times.

Great Mi nds at Work. Beth Jones, Mi chelle Humphrey, and Anna Vaserstein, major contributors to the The Student Voice. gather together in the English wing to proofread an upcoming newspaper issue before putting it to press.

Voicing Their Opinions To The

Public Many new changes took place in the operation of the school newspaper, The Student Vojce, this past year. Editing and layouts were both hastened and eased through the use of new computer programs. Articles, edited by senior Kimi Eisele and junior Jen Cotner, touched on a usual variety of topics including school happenings, music news, editorials, and short descriptive excerpts on interesting or talented seniors. As senior editor Kimi Eisele noted, the small staff could never have put the paper to press without the tremendous volunteer aid and assistance given by advisers Mrs. Janet Kretchmar and Mrs. Donna McPherson.

With their guidance, The Student Vokewas able to organize and publish about five newspapers for the student body. Of course, the school newspaper did not just succeed in increasing student awareness of school activities and personalities. Jen Cotner mentioned other advantages of The Student Voke: "I really enjoy working on the paper because it gives me a chance to practice my writing and photography...and it's really a lot of fun!'' fn addition to the official school newspaper, The Student Vojce, an alternative publication, was active in '89. Altered State, an independent student-managed magazine, carried on the traditon set five years before by past senior Lily Tsong. While there was no direct subsidy or recognition from the school administration, the staff valued the journalistic freedom that resulted from self-sufficiency. Operating strictly through contributions from generous readers, its editors put together several issues of original material submitted by creative individuals. Altered State published political and social commentary, artwork, short fiction, photograpy, and poetry. As a unique outlet for student concerns and ideas, the "state" provided a voice for all and anyone who wanted to listen.

"Not Another Day of Yearbook!"

Sports co-editor Jen Kretchmar attempts to avoid the pleading eyes of co-editor-in-chief Sally Kim as she is being informed that all Little Lion Yearbook editors have to pull an allnighter in the beloved CRC. Much to Sally's dismay, Jen only stayed until 2:00 a.m.

Little Lion Yearbook

In a diligent effort to live up to their reputation and create another award winning yearbook, the Little Lion staff spent many afternoons and late evenings working together. Striving to meet the many deadlines set by Jostens Printing and Publishing Company, the staff worked in the yearbook office on such tasks as planning layouts, cropping pictures, and writing articles, picture captions, and headlines. Staff photographers were also known to trek the halls with cameras in hand in order to catch the unaware with a flash. And upon entering the Computer Resource Center and making a quick scan, one would have thought the staff was attached to the computers as they laboriously typed in all the data they had compiled. These were not the only responsibilities associated with the Little Lion, though. Selling advertisement space to businesses in town, an important means of fundraising, was another major undertaking. Obviously producing a yearbook took a great deal of effort, but the Little Lion staff did not let that stop them from continuing their efforts. Olivia Bord, one of the editors of the organizations section, found that being 'involved with the Little Lion Yearbook was both enjoyable and worthwhile, despite the hard work. She pointed out that, "Even though all the editors jokingly 'quit' yearbook at least once a day, I think that we all enjoyed it, and I think the final product will be worth the trouble." Of course, all this could not have been accomplished without the aid of advisers Mrs. Mary York and Mrs. Janet Kretchmar and also co-editors Cathy Griel and Sally Kim. T hese four not only provided guidance to the other editors but also proofread and corrected the "finished work" before finally handing the pages over to Jostens publishing company.

Naptime. Taking a much needed break from the fast pace of yearbook , Ernest Yeh crashes on the floor oftbe CRC in the early hours of the morning during the Little Lion all-nighter.

"Where's a Pica Ruler? " Trying to meet an upcoming deadline, Carolyn Pickering copies the rough drafts of the organizations layouts onto three R's. This was only one of may necessary steps in producing a quality yearbook.

"Or Maybe You Should..." As Tracy Spannuth and co-editor Cathy Griel look on, Charlotte Jeffreys gives Pepper Santalucia a few suggestions concerning the organization of his layout for the Little Lion girls' track page.

Syntax Error. Rining through an assort ment of directions, mini-mag editor Adrienne Mason attempts to discover the secretS of her "friendly user" IBM computer while a dding the final touches to her forty-one page sect ion.

Best New Female Vocalist of 1988, Tracy Chapman

The· Cover The highlights of 1988-89 involved politics, sports, technology, and the environment. George Bush emerged as the victor of the Presidential election, leaving his opponent Mike Dukakis in the dust. NASA launched the first space shuttle, Discovery, since the 1985 disaster. The environment significantly deteriorated; fishermen and .beach lovers discovered a grossly polluted Eastern Seaboard while acres of Yellowstone National Park were destroyed in a raging fire. Everyone was victorious in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Korea. Notable Americans were diver Greg Louganis, swimmer Janet Evans, and track stars Flo-Jo, Jackie, and Ben Johnson.

'f\\\\~\lS Fashion

The Designs of 1989 The season of 1988-89 was a year for the person who followed no fashion but his/ her own. Almost anything went...so long as it was unexpected. It was a year of the body conscience individual, as seen in such trends as the Lycra/ Spandex biking suits that became popular with not only biking enthusiats, but also the entire sportswear industry.

Faded denim, ripped jeans and lots of lace also ruled the casual corner of fashion, again rev ea Ii n g body conscience attitudes.

As much as it was a year for frivolity, it was also a back to the conservative era for men's businesswear. Colors were more basic and traditional although shoulders were broader

and waists leaner than seen in previous years, again showing off the bodies and minds of the eighties. Paisleys, larger designs in lighter and brighter colors came into play among neckwear in many of the accessories worn by both men and women.

Designers such as Calvin Klein, lssey Mikake and Christian Dior again were the prominent nomenclature stitched into our necklines. However, as brand names fell from grace and personal expression stepped into the forefront, we were not locked into our own cultural backrounds but through the fashion directions of 88-89 could begin to experience the tastes of all nations.

Everything and anything shaped the looks in '88-89.

T.V.'Couch Potatoes' In our increasingly television-oriented society, watching T.V. had become a way to become informed, to relax, and to be entertained. Yet for some, watching the "boob tube" was so addictive, it had become a way of life. The past year saw the emergence of the infamous couch potato. For these human vegetables, television was nothing short of a way of life. Remote control in hand, they would sit, eyes fixed on the glowing screen. Some would flip incessantly through the

channels, stopping no longer than a few minutes to sample any given show. Any time of day, they could be found in front of a television, perhaps munching on their favorite snack. These couch potatoes were practically immobile once they settled into their favorite easy chair or sofa. Couch potatoes found themselves to be the butt of jokes and the objects of national attention. Yet, they preferred only to be at home, watching their favorite shows.

The sitcom Roseanne was the hottest new program on prime time in 1988.

Writers Doom Season For the networks, the 1988 fall season was a shambles.

CBS, ABC, and NBC were struggling through their worst autumn ever, feeling the effects of the five-month writers' strike which shut down production on most shows during the spring and summer. The first of the new series premiered on NBC in October, but others would take months to appear.

The strike was not the only thing that caused the networks' troubles. Public interest in the Big Three had already begun to dwindle. Most new shows were doomed unless they were put in a time slot following an established hit. In 1987, the only two new network series in

the Top 30 were A Different World and My Two Dads, on after The Cosby Show and Family Ties, respectively. The networks also found themselves competing with cable, syndication, and home video. · Cable channels competed more and more with the networks for programming. Also, network programs were being shoved aside by stations for more popular syndicated shows. Home video had increased dramatically in popularity, diverting viewers' attention away from the networks. However, the networks still had the ability to attract a large share of the T .V. audience and were able to survive.

A Satanic Fury. The book Satanic Verses by Englishman Salmon Rushdie, sparked international tension when Middle Eastern countries took offense to its contents. A compilation of hymn-like verses relating to Satan, the book was condemned for blasphemy by Muslim believers around the world. They maintained that it was an irreverent treatment of their Prophet Muhammad, despite the fact that there were no direct references to him. Around the world, Muslims threatened to kill Rushdie, the most caustic threat being from the Ayatollah Khomeini, who offered a five million dollar bounty.

Such warnings of violence prompted American bookstores such as Waldenbooks to keep Satanic Verses off the shelves.

Talking Straight In 1984, Lee Iacocca's autobiography broke bestseller records around the world. The book portrayed his struggle to rebuild the Chrysler corporation with old-fashioned values and straightshooting opinions, thus captivating audiences around the world. In 1988, while riding the wave of his first success, Iacocca released his second book, Talking Straight. In an age of bilI i on-dol lar deficits and unsound business practices on Wall Street, Iacocca addressed the world's larger problems and offered sensible solutions.

While he claimed that he'd never run for president, lacocca did point out where the American value system had fallen by the wayside. Amidst his patriotic rhetoric, Talking Straight reiterates the same basic theme throughout the book: how we can make 'made in America' mean something again.

Don't Worry, Be Happy International musicians join forces to support Amnesty rnternational.

Pop Musicians of '88 Without a doubt, the year in music was one of surprise and contrast. While George Micheal and "Faith" topped the charts and captured the hearts and minds of millions, other diverse groups such as Guns-nRoses and Tracy Chapman enjoyed widespread success with their own unique brand of music. While the world mourned the passing of seventies superstar Andy Gibb, tabloid papers

everywhere went wild with rumors of a still living Elvis.

When Tiffany took her mother to court, it seemed as though the entire music industry was a band of money hungry cutthroats. Rock amply redeemed itself with such charity events as the Amnesty International tour and the Nelson Mandela tribute concert. All in all, it was a year worth remembering.

One man band, Bobby McFerrin

- 2 _7 -

The hottest musical trend of this past year was the voice phenomemon of Bobby Mcferrin. Eschewing the accompaniment of even the simplest musical instruments, Mcferrin astounded millions with his simple yet varied sound. His hit single, "Don't Worry, Be Happy," not only enjoyed great success on both radio and MTV, but also had such impact as to produce Tshirts with the catch phrase boldly printed across the chest.

But the song's greatest moment was when it was played at a Bush campaign rally, thus proving that Mcferrin was indeed a hot trend.

Michael Dukakis, Governor of Massachusettes, was the Democratic Party presidential nominee in the 1988 election.

President Bush gives a cheerful sign of victory after being inaugurated as the 41st president of the United States.

President Bush Begins Tenure In The Oval Office On November 8, 1988, Vice President George Bush defeated Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis in the presidential general election, thus becoming the 41 st President of the United States. Mr. Bush accumulated approximately fifty-four percent of the national popular vote and was able to carry a majority of votes in forty of the fifty states, in order to win an election that only months earlier many political experts had given him no chance of winning. Clearly, George Bush's road to the White House was a rocky one.

In the previous February, Mr. Bush had finished a distant third in the Iowa Republican caucuses, an overwhelming defeat that, at the time, had apparently ended his hopes for the presidency. Only one week later, however, the Vice President rebounded by winning the crucial N ew Hampshire primary in convincing fashion and was on his way to the Republican nomination. Mr. Bush encountered even more serious

difficulties later on, at the Republican National Convention in August, when he announced that his choice for running mate would be Dan Quayle, a young, virtually unknown senator from Indiana. The selection proved to be extremely controversial, when critics scoffed that Senator Quayle lacked the experience and sophistication

many had originally anticipated.

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of George Bush was that he was able to shake the political stigma of the vice presidency; with his victory, Mr. Bush became the first incumbent vice president in over 150 years to win a presidential election. His predecessor, Ron-

- George Bush, January 1989 to be vice president and accused Quayle of using the influence of his wealthy father to avoid serving on active duty in the Vietnam War. Despite the uproar, Mr. Bush decided to stick with his choice of Senator Quayle, and the selection ultimately proved to be less of a handicap to Mr. Bush than

aid Reagan, played the key role in enabling Bush to win the election. Reagan spent a large amount of time campaigning for his vice president. He emphasized his view of Bush as a trusted partner and string leader behind the scenes in the Reagan White House to demonstrate Bush's readiness to

step into the limelight. With Mr. Reagan's help, Mr. Bush was able to emerge from the shadows of the vice presidency as a man who was ready to become a leader. This "new image" of George Bush went over well with the American voters along with his campaign theme, "peace and prosperity."

During the campaign Bush spoke at length about the new INF arms reduction treaty and the expanding national economy, giving the American people an optimistic message about the nation's future. At the same time, Mr. Bush frequently attacked his rival, Governor Michael Dukakis, as a man whose views and values were out of date and out of the mainstream. By using the help of President Reagan and giving the American People an optimistic vision of the future, George Bush was able to hurdle every obstacle in a seemingly unwinnable election and capture the presidenqy of the United States.

For the athletes, it was a moment of truth; for the spectators, a moment of intense patriotism. All the participating world class athletes experienced personal victories as well as national defeats.

In the track and field competitions, Olympian Ben Johnson Jost a gold medal to Carl Lewis, due to a positive result in a test for steroid use; meanwhile, the dynamic duo of Florence Griffith and Jackie Joyner Kersee won over eighty percent of the United States gold medals in the women's track and field.

The swimming and diving athletes had intense competition, but Americans, Greg Louganis and Janet Evans, re-

turned home with a total of five gold metals. Louganis, who first participated in Olympic competition in 1976, was hindered by a freak accident that gave him five cranial stitches; however, his fierce competitive spirit enabled him to win both the platform and springboard competitions.

Local Penn State athletes Suzie McConnell, a point guard, and Ken Chertow, a wrestler, were also Seoul partipants. The women's U.S . .basketball team won the gold after winning the final match against Yugoslavia; however, the majority of the men's wrestling team faced defeat against its two biggest rivals, the Soviet Union and Japan.

The Reagan Legacy, An Era of Narcotic Cheerfulness When Ronald Reagan moved out of the White House on January 20, 1989, it signaled not only the end of a presidency but also the end of an era. This is because Ronald Reagan created a legacy by re- 路. defining the institution of the presidency for himself and for 路 his successors.

Mr. Reagan had a style all his own, an optimistic, reassuring, grandfatherly charisma that the American presidency had been lacking for generations. Because of his warm personality, Mr. Reagan was able to establish a very comfortable, personable relationship with the American people which helped him retain his high popularity level even through his administration's most difficult times. Simply put, the American people felt comfortable being led by Ronald Reagan because Ronald Reagan felt comfortable leading the American people.

Mr. Reagan approached his duties as chief executive with an extremely casual, almost nonchalant attitude, and he always gave the impression that being president was actually a fun, easy job, not a painful responsibility. President Reagan's relaxed attitude towards his work became contagious, and the American population had become, as one writer once put it, "hooked on the narcotic of cheerfulness." Mr. Reagan's supporters said that this narcotic was the wonder drug that would save America' s ills, while critics said the narcotic was a harmful drug that blinded the American people to the nation's problems. Although

Mr. Reagan was always personally popular during his tenure, his politics were always controversial. Nonetheless, it could be said that Ronald Reagan had a successful presidency, to the extent that he accomplished almost everything he wanted to: he slashed taxes, increased defense spending, signed the first nuclear arms reduction treaty in history, and helped get his own man, George Bush, elected to replace him.

Reagan meets with Soviet leader Gorbachev in New York in the winter of 1988.

Whether or not those things were good or bad for the nation, is for each individual Ronald Reagan gives a final salute before ending his term in the White House American to decide for himself. What is clear, however, is that Ronald Reagan's reign as the 40th president of the United States greatly affected the way the American people look at the presidency. Not since the days of John F. Kennedy had any president communicated with his constituents so comfortably or so effectively.

Through his communicative skills, Ronald Reagan reopened the American people's confidence in the presidency, a confidence that had been lost during the administration of Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. His restoration of confidence, attained through warm personal communication, and his ushering in of the era of "the narcotic of cheerfulness," will be Ronald Reagan's greatest legacy. When Presidents of the 21st century attempt to obtain public support by using verbal communication, the man they will be trying to emulate will be Ronaid Reagan.

NEWSMAKERS Blast Off! After more than thirty-two months of uncertainty, the space shuttle Discovery took flight and America returned to space. During the two and a half year sabbatical, many systems on board the shuttle were re-designed to increase crew safety. The most noticeable being an escape system in the crew's cabin. Spending millions of dollars to redesign the 0 -ring seal, the leading cause of the disaster, NASA increased the number of seals from two to three, hoping to curb all future problems in space flight. The crew had planned for a I 0:00 a.m. launch, but technical difficulties led to one and a half hour delay. Eventually, there was a flawless launch and the shuttle undertook a four day journey.

The invisible a rsenal. When the United States' D-2 stealth bomber was unveiled, it became a moot topic among military surveillance teams.

Virtually invisible to radars, the sleek D-2 stealth bomber was introduced as one of the greatest achievements in military technology. Although the plane had not yet made a maiden voyage, it had finally been unveiled to the public at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California.

The $500 million plane was just one of an array of new and expensive weapons that the pentagon had planned to purchase. The Navy's Seawolf

Submarines and the Army's Forward Area Air Defense system were just two of the army military programs that were among the $9 billion proposal.

The stealth bomber was expected to neutralize the strategic dominance that radar had enjoyed for a half a century.

However, one drawback for producing it was that a cruise missile could be relatively inexpensively produced while creating just as much damage.

The Big Dry When disaster struck United States in the summer of 1988, the farmers were faced with the most devastating drought that had occurred in the last fifty years. After just recovering from a decade of low prices and high interest rates, farmers were again burdened with a financial problem due to a low crop turnout. It was estimated that $2. 7 billion were lost in crops that summer and approximately 1.5 million acres of top soil was blown away.

While examining a field of stunted cotton plants, a distressed Georgian farmer contemplates the financial repercussions of his failed crop.

L

However, some of the effects of the drought were actually positive. A decrease in crop supply depleted the surplus which had accumulated over the previous years. This decrease in supply increased demand and thus raised the value of the crop- compensating for such a poor harvest.

The most commonly raised question was what is the reason for the weather being consistently hot and dry. Although the greenhouse effect was most often blamed, the actual reason for such weather was unaccountable.

NEWSMAKERS Agony in Armenia

No Mayday Call: The remains of the plane's nose and cockpit lie strewn across the Scottish countryside. No passengers survived the sabotage.

An Explosion in the Sky After concrete and stone snapped like brittle twigs, rescue workers dug for victims in the rubble of a collapsed building in Len in akan.

A shock wave registering 6.9 on the Richter scale devastated the Soviet Republic of Armenia, leaving thousands homeless or dead. Although the epicenter of the disaster occurred in Leninakan, a city of a quarter million, distinctive tremors were felt in a thirty mile radius in every direction.

In the town Spitak, fortyfive miles north of Leninakan, over ninety-nine percent of its 30,000 inhabitants were killed.

Everywhere, hospitals, school and offices instantly collapsed, entombing victims under heaps of rubble. Statistics showed that over 400,000 were left homeless and over 45,000 dead.

The outside world responded quickly to the sudden devastation. Trained search teams arrived from France, West Germany, Britain, Switzerland , Bulgaria, and Poland, bringing medical supplies and rescue equipment. However, the most notable supplier of aid came from the United States, after receiving a formal request for help from the Kremlin; this had been the first official aid given to the U .S.S.R. since World War II. Although thousands donated services to help the cause, they were unable to overcome the earthquake's damage.

On a routine flight from Frankfurt to New York, a Pan Am 747 jet exploded in the sky, leaving its two hundred fifty-eight passengers dead. This Christmas tragedy was characterized by bodies and parts of the plane littering the rural countryside of Lockerbie , Scotland. Although the plane was nineteen years old and there were high winds, experts agreed that the single most logical explanation for the disaster was terrorism.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation had received numerous calls from various organizations that claimed responsibility for the fatal flight . The "Guardians of the Islamic Revolution" maintained that they had sought revenge for the Iranian plane that was shot down in the Per-

sian Gulf the previous summer.

Another caller confessed that a terrorist group had planted a bomb on behalf of Libya and Iran. However, the most notable call was received two weeks before the flight. An Arabic accented man had called the United States Embassy in Finland, warning that a bomb would be planted on a flight from Frankfurt to New York within the next couple of weeks. This life threatening information was passed on to the U.S. Secret Service agents that were scheduled to be on board the flight , but not to the general public. When passengers'relatives demanded to know why a warning had not been made available to the public, tlie government maintained that that particular call was one threat of eighty-seven.

NEWSMAKERS Blaze Damages Forest In June of 1988, at Yellowstone National Park, droughtlike conditions and large accumulations of underbrush were the factors that ignited the largest and most damaging forest fire the park had experienced in its one hundred and sixteen year history.

Up to ten fires at once blazed in different regions of the 2.2 million acre forest, burning approximately 600,000 acres. More than fivehundred tourists and employees had to be evacuated from one of the most popular tourist regions after the so called North Fork fire burned within two miles of it. Although 8,000 fire-fighters were on location to help control the fire, all attempts were of no avail.

Despite the harsh damage done to the forest, ecologists

were optimistic about the fire actually improving forest vegetation and wild life. T he flames cleared thick strands of timber and prepared the soil for a new generation of flora. For example, many of the seed cones of the lodgepole pine, which covers 60% of the park, only open after being exposed to intense heat. Also, the blaze increased the wide array of insects, birds and mammals that had found Yellowstone's aging forests increasingly inhospitable.

O ver eight- t ho usand firefighters j oined forces to try to combat the largest fire in Yellowstone's history, but the situation was out of control.

Whales Escape Arctic Prison A million dollar international investment joined hundreds of people in an effort to rescue whales that were trapped in icy waters of the Arctic Ocean.

After they were discovered by Eskimos on October 7, 1988, people worked around the clock to try to free the coldblooded mammals. At first, three whales were discovered, but the smallest of them died only days after his discovery.

All of the rescue missions attempted to create a path in the ice with which the whales could navigate their freedom.

After the paths were created, sound waves and voices were used to try to coax the whales in the proper direction.

In the first rescue attempt, Eskimos tried to carve a pa th

in the ice using chain saws.

This measure, as well as the 9,000 pound concrete and steel block dropped by a helicopter to crack the ice, were not useful in aiding the whales out of captivity. The Soviet Union also tried to help the situation by sending a cargo ship to the site for the purpo~e of ramming the ocean liner into the ice in hopes of cracking it. Although the ice cracked, the rescue teams were unable to coax the mammals to safe waters.

Throughout the ordeal, the whales remained in the same area, despite attempts from the rescue teams. Finally, one of the two whales decided to break through a thin veil of ice and swim into free waters. Later, the whale returned to the area of captivity and led his companion to freedom.

NEWSMAKERS Woman Gains Control In Pakistan In November of 1988, the nation of Pakistan, crippled by a weak economy and swarmed with international controversy over its nuclear program, overwhelmingly chose Benazir Bhutto to be its new Prime Minister. Bhutto, who with her victory, became the first ever female Prime Minister in the Islamic world, replaced General Mohammad Zia ul-Haq, who died last August in a wellpublicized, highly mysterious plane crash.

At age thirty-five, Prime Minister Bhutto had acquired her political prowess through her Western education and lessons from her father, who was Pakistan's leader until 1977 when he was overthrown and executed by followers of the late President Zia. After her election, Bhutto showed her leadership abilities

Machinists Walk Out

After seeing her father's rise and fall and execution, Benazir Bhutto poises as the first woman leader of Pakistan.

by strengthening her relationship with other foreign political bases, such as the United States, without losing the support of her most loyal followers. Intelligent and mature, Bhutto was the first person to capture power in Pakistan through democratic means rather than by use of force.

After seventeen months of negotiations with the management, 31,200 rank-and-file union members at Eastern Airlines decided to go on strike.

The spring of I 989's bitter walk-out by the International Associations of Machinists and Aerospace Workers was the largest in airline history.

From the start, Eastern's pilots backed the striking mechanics and flight crews by walking off their jobs, grounding all but a handful of the airline's two-hundred and fifty planes. Eastern lost four million dollars a day from the strike and was forced to file for

protection under the Chapter 11 provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

Eastern officials tried to persuade pilots back to work, but to no avail. The refusal stemmed from pilots' disgust with the management, headed

by Frank Lorenzo. In addition, the workers were dissatisfied with activities the airline has recently engaged in: Within the past three years, Eastern sold eleven of its passengerboarding gates, its computerized reservation system, and transferred twenty airlines to Continental.

After fruitless negotiations, a rowdy crowd of Eastern machinists gather together and vocally express their bitter emotions toward Lorenzo's management.

The Dirty Seas Along the Eastern Seaboard, from northern New Jersey to Long Island, the beaches became heavily polluted and many were forced to be declared temporarily off limits.

Incoming tides washed up a nauseating array of waste, including plastic tampon applicators and balls of sewage, two inches thick. Even more alarming was the drug paraphernalia and medical debris that also littered the beaches: crack vials, needles, syringes, prescription bottles, stained bandages, containers of surgical sutures and dozens of vials of blood, many of which tested positive for AIDS and hepatitis.

As federal and state officials tried to locate the source of the

beach-defiling materials, an insidious process took place just off the Northeast coast: Officials learned that since March of 1986, about ten million tons of wet sludge, processed by New York and New Jersey municipal sewage treatment plants, had just been released 106 nautical miles from the New York harbor. This process, approved by the EPA, contaminated fish along the Eastern Seaboard and therefore raised noisy protests from commercial and sport fishermen. This exposure of chemical pollution spurred organizations from New Jersey, Delaware and New York to join forces and help alleviate the problem.

The New M r. October. Pitcher Orel H ershiser, credited with two of the Dodgers' five wi ns, was awarded the series MVP awa rd for his outstanding play.

Underdogs Sweep Series It was called an upset of biblical proportions, reminiscent of David and Goliath. Indeed, one might wonder how a team, whose lineup was once designated by NBC sportscaster Bob Costas as the weakest in World Series history, beat one comparable to the 1927 Yankees. However, the Los Angeles Dodgers did it, defeating the Oakland Athletics, four games to one, in the 1988 World Series.

Not even avid Dodger fans held much faith in the team.

For one, the team was injuryridden. In game seven of the playoffs, Kirk Gibson severely sprained his right knee. Pitcher John Tudor experienced difficulties with his left elbow, as did outfielder Mike Marshall with his back. Then, sliding into second in game four,

catcher Mike Scioscia twisted his right knee. Even so, the Dodgers had outstanding players such as pitcher Orel Hershiser, the series MVP. Two of the victories were credited to him alone, by his three-hit shutout in game two and his four-hit clincher in game five.

Sports Illustrated touted Hershiser as the new Mr. October.

With a ninth-inning homer

by Mark McGuire, the A's won Game three, 2-1, at the Oakland Coliseum. The Athletics, however, made two crucial errors in game four and lost 4-3. In game five, Hershiser pitched a four-hitter , and Mickey Hatcher and Mike Davis hit two-run homers , bringing the Dodgers to a 5-2 win for their first Wor ld Championship in seven years.

NEWSMAKERS Terrorism Denounced

In Moscow, President Reagan and Soviet leader M ikhail Gorbachev meet for a summit meeting to discuss human rights and to break down the countries' barriers.

Gorbachev and Glastnost Washington denies an American visa to Yassir Arafat after the Palestinian leader had attempted to reconcile his relations with the world.

Long exiled Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat introduced a dramatic reversal of his dogmatic policy: For years, Arafat had steadfastly refused to acknowledge Israel, a small Jewish state in the Middle East, to even exist, when suddenly he decided to recognize Israel a political entity.

In this move that confounded United States political experts, Arafat denounced terrorism. The reversal was just what Washington had stated they wanted from Arafat. Ironically, when Arafat asked to speak before the United Nations, the he was denied a visa because the United States maintained that he had encour-

aged prior terrorist act1v1ty and therefore posed a threat to the country. This decision was met with intense international disapproval and an Arab-sponsored resolution with the United Nations gave Washington 24 hours to "reconsider and reverse" its decision. As expected, however, the Secretary of State George Schultz, who made the decision in the first place, refused to yield.

After this plea was negated, the United Nations General Assembly, in a sweeping 162-2 vote, deplored the United States' action and resolved to hear Arafat speak in Geneva anyway.

A definite shift in attitudes about the Soviet U nion developed when Mikhail Gorbachev, an innovative General Secretary gained power. In 1988, Gorbachev introduced bold new policy of perestroika, a political and economic "restructuring," and glastnost, or "openness," for possibility of revitalizing Soviet society, which had long been stagnating under Leonid Breshnev's domination, and under the political stresses created by the rapid change of political leadership.

At the Communist Party Conference held in June, Gorbachev presented almost revolutionary proposals, considered shocking by Soviet traditionalists, and liberating by much of the population realizing the need for change. Gorbachev's sweeping reforms were both

political-having an actual choice on election ballots and having a limitation on the length a premier could serveand social-a focus on freedom of expression and a quality work environment.

Many Soviets, American, and others were highly dubious as to the potential for success.

Gorbachev, however, remained committed to perestroika, and for the first time in history, the Soviet Union admitted the human rights organization Amnesty International within its borders. Gorbachev had continually asked for patience and cooperation, and in many cases the popular leader received it.

Relations with the United States have also improved; leaders of both countries have successfully negotiated, as demonstrated by the signing of the INF treaty.

Prison??? Serving a dual purpose, the fence surrounding the Senior High School during the hectic months of construction on the new gymnasium, swimming pool, and indoor track, not only warded trespassers off but also locked unlucky students in for the everlasting school year. While at certain times during the year students perceived school as a recurring nightmare, auending State High each day was often an event to look forward to. The anticipation of making new acquaintances and developing stronger relationships with old friends could brighten even the worst of days. These bonds created fond memories that will remain with us forever.
